Abhijeet Dipke was heckled at Delhi airport, with people shouting that he was ruining the country and calling him a CIA agent.
The confrontation followed the detention and judicial custody of CJP co-convenors Saurav Das and Ashutosh Ranka after protests tied to Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar.
One account says the pair received five-day judicial custody after protesting at Jantar Mantar, while another says CJP activists were detained after attempting to enter the area.
Dipke responded in video remarks aimed at Prime Minister Narendra Modi, challenging him to officially declare an emergency and alleging that hoisting the national flag has become illegal under his administration.

Another report says Dipke called on supporters to gather at Connaught Place to hoist the Tricolour, saying waving the flag is not a crime and that he was unconcerned about possible arrest.
The airport confrontation was also linked to Dipke returning to Delhi after attending to a family bereavement.
The broader dispute centers on CJP protests against Gyanesh Kumar, including allegations of electoral roll irregularities and demands for his resignation.
