NEW DELHI, India — The Cockroach Janata Party (CJP) has announced that it will return to the streets with a peaceful youth march in the national capital on September 5. The organisation said the march will begin at India Gate and proceed towards Delhi Police Headquarters, with families of NEET victims and people affected by alleged police action expected to lead the demonstration.
Key Highlights
- CJP has announced a September 5 youth march from India Gate to Delhi Police Headquarters.
- The organisation alleges that promises made on July 25 regarding FIR withdrawals and compensation have not been implemented.
- The protest follows clashes between police and demonstrators during a July 20 “Parliament March”.
- The FIR issue has also reached the Supreme Court, where the Centre has acknowledged that cases against people without criminal backgrounds can be withdrawn.
Cockroach Janata Party to resume protest in Delhi
The CJP said its National Working Committee decided to restart peaceful protests after what it described as continued delays by the government in implementing commitments made on July 25.
According to the organisation, the September 5 demonstration will focus particularly on demands concerning students and protesters who were booked in FIRs following earlier demonstrations.
Why is CJP planning the September 5 march?
CJP spokesperson Ashutosh Ranka said the government had failed to act on commitments made during discussions in July. He claimed that no compensation had been provided and that there was no written agreement regarding the withdrawal of FIRs.
In a statement shared on X, the organisation accused the Centre of failing to fulfil promises made to India’s youth, particularly those relating to students and protesters facing FIRs.
The group said its decision to resume the movement was driven by what it described as the government’s continued delay in implementing the commitments.
What happened during the July 20 protest?
The latest announcement follows a confrontation between police and protesters during a “Parliament March” on July 20. Several protesters and police personnel were reportedly injured during the clashes.
FIRs were subsequently registered against protesters. The dispute over those cases later moved into the Supreme Court, where the Centre acknowledged that FIRs registered against people without criminal backgrounds could be withdrawn.
What was agreed on July 25?
On July 25, CJP leaders held a third round of discussions with Union ministers J.P. Nadda and Jitendra Singh. The meeting took place alongside the resignation of Dharmendra Pradhan as education minister.
Following the discussions, CJP leaders said several of their demands had received agreement, including compensation for families of NEET aspirants who had died by suicide and measures concerning FIRs against protesters.
The organisation also said there had been an understanding that protesters would not face further police action following demonstrations. It had warned that protests could resume if action against demonstrators continued.
CJP says government must fulfil its commitments
Ranka said the organisation would not withdraw from its demands and urged the government to honour the commitments it says were made on July 25.
The CJP has described the September 5 event as a peaceful youth march. According to its announcement, families of NEET victims and those affected by alleged police action will lead the march from India Gate to Delhi Police Headquarters.
The organisation’s latest announcement puts the implementation of the July commitments, particularly the FIR-related demands and compensation issue, back at the centre of the dispute ahead of the planned Delhi demonstration.
