The Cockroach Janta Party warned it may launch fresh protests in Delhi if the government fails to honor commitments regarding the NEET protest movement [1].
The threat of renewed demonstrations near the Parliament building suggests a breakdown in negotiations between the party and government officials. If the dispute remains unresolved, the capital could see a return of large-scale unrest following the previous suspension of the movement [1].
Spokesperson Saurav Das said the group is demanding the release of all detainees linked to the protest movement [1]. The party also seeks the withdrawal of all first information reports, known as FIRs, filed against participants [1].
Das said the government must provide a written guarantee that no retaliatory action will be taken against protesters [1]. This demand follows allegations that the government has not fulfilled the promises made during the negotiations that initially halted the protests [1].
Reports regarding the nature of previous demonstrations vary. One report stated that Delhi Police personnel were injured during a protest near Parliament, while other sources did not mention injuries [2]. Additionally, police denied claims that party founder Abhijeet Dipke was detained during the unrest [2].
"All detainees linked to the protest movement must be released, all FIRs must be withdrawn, and the government must provide a written guarantee that no retaliatory action will be taken against protesters," Das said [1].
“The Cockroach Janta Party warned it may launch fresh protests in Delhi.”
The escalating tension between the CJP and the government highlights a critical trust deficit regarding the legal aftermath of the NEET protests. By demanding written guarantees and the total withdrawal of FIRs, the CJP is attempting to create a legal shield for its members to prevent future state retaliation, signaling that the movement will not dissipate until there is documented immunity for its activists.
