What sparked it, and how did an online joke turn into a camp-out at Jantar Mantar?

I can’t identify the event from the question alone. Jantar Mantar has hosted many gatherings, and “an online joke” could refer to different viral posts or campaigns. Without a date, hashtag, or link to the story, naming what sparked this camp-out at Jantar Mantar would risk mixing up separate events.

If you share the article, post, or approximate date, I can explain what the online joke at Jantar Mantar was, who took it seriously, and how it became a social media gathering in Delhi rather than remaining a joke. That context would also help identify the viral joke that prompted the gathering and distinguish it from a conventional Jantar Mantar protest event.

It started back in May as a social media campaign called the Cockroach Janta Party, put together by Abhijeet Dipke. The name was a jab at a comment from the Chief Justice of India, who'd compared unemployed youth and social media activists to "cockroaches" and "parasites." What began as online mockery eventually spilled into protests.
