CJP, the Cockroach Janta Party or whatever, has said it is going to do a peaceful march in Delhi on September 5. They are also accusing the Centre of basically not following through on what they called assurances to young protesters back in July. And it’s been described as failed promises, kind of, in a headline sort of way.
CJP Announces Protest March on September 5
The march is planned to start at India Gate, then move towards the Delhi Police Headquarters. Families of deceased NEET victims are expected to be there and lead things along with people who say they were subjected to police action during the July 20 ‘Sansad Chalao’ march.
CJP claimed that its National Working Committee reviewed the government’s progress on commitments made on July 25, and said it was unsatisfactory. The party says the Centre delayed action and avoided giving clear assurances on key demands.
One of the big demands is withdrawal or quashing of FIRs filed against students and protesters. CJP also wants compensation for the families of deceased NEET victims. They also pointed towards Supreme Court proceedings, saying that details of FIRs across the country were asked for so the cases could potentially be considered together for quashing.
CJP further said it had called off its nationwide movement earlier after trusting the government’s assurances. Now it says the lack of progress has pushed it back onto the streets, like it had no other choice, or no real option left.
Lastly, CJP urged students, youth, and student organisations to gather at India Gate on September 5. The march is expected to get close attention as CJP presses for action on its demands and keeps asking the Centre to honour the commitments it says were made in July, full stop.
