FORCED TO SIT ON PROTEST AGAIN: CJP Warns Centre To Withdraw Cases

The Cockroach Janta Party, or CJP, has threatened to hold another demonstration as early as tomorrow due to what it claims is a “breach of agreement” that there would be no police action against demonstrators who have been detained during weeks of statewide rallies.

After Dharmendra Pradhan resigned as Education Minister, one of the group’s primary objectives, the Abhijeet Dipke-led campaign, which started out as satire and got its name from an insult, called off its 37-day demonstration at Jantar Mantar in Delhi in “good faith” over the weekend.

“We are witnessing a total violation of the agreement that the protestors would not be subjected to police action. Hundreds of students are being monitored and harassed in Delhi and other states, while hundreds have been arrested in Bengal and Bihar. Ashutosh Ranka, a CJP spokesperson, stated on X that “many reports are emerging in Delhi about detention of volunteers supporting protestors with logistics.” He made the plea to Jitendra Singh and JP Nadda, government interlocutors who spearheaded the negotiations with the CJP.

“We demand that all the FIRs against the protesters be immediately withdrawn, students be released and no future FIRs be filed (in line with our agreement) by Delhi police / Central investigative agencies / Police in BJP-allied states, FAILING WHICH WE WILL BE FORCED TO SIT ON PROTEST AGAIN,” he said further.

Additionally, the CJP representative insisted that a written agreement about legal matters be “shared with us by tomorrow,” as was decided upon during the negotiations.

The CJP said that the Central government has promised to withdraw the FIRs filed against protesters anywhere in India and to give appropriate compensation to the families of NEET applicants who committed suicide following the third round of talks with Ministers at the Constitution Club on Saturday. The next round of negotiations will take place in four weeks, according to the CJP, which delivered a five-point demand charter to the administration.

Following the July 20 “Chalo Sansad” march at Jantar Mantar, several FIRs were filed against demonstrators throughout India. The CJP has called for the FIRs to be withdrawn and no further judicial action.

The Supreme Court ruled earlier today that the freedom to peaceful protest is “absolutely guaranteed” and that police excesses or a “lathi charge” cannot be justified simply because there is agitation.

On July 20, protests in the nation’s capital descended into violence when a mob tried to march from the Jantar Mantar protest site in the direction of Parliament.

Conflicts and a spate of arrests resulted from police using batons and tear gas to break up the demonstration.

Due to opposition MPs’ repeated demands for a response from the administration regarding last week’s police crackdown, the issue echoed throughout Parliament on Monday.

The government proposed legislation in the lower house to impose harsher penalties for exam paper leaks in spite of the disruptions.
