CJP Demands Release of Detained Protesters, Warns of Fresh Protests Over FIRs
The Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) has accused the Indian government of breaching assurances given during talks that no punitive action would be taken against protesters involved in the NEET-UG paper leak agitation. Despite the protest being called off after key demands, including the resignation of Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan, reports emerged of arrests and FIRs filed in Assam, West Bengal, Bihar, and Delhi. The CJP demands immediate release of detainees, withdrawal of FIRs, and a written guarantee from the government, warning of renewed protests if assurances are not met. Legal aid initiatives, including a fund led by Kapil Sibal, have been launched to support affected protesters.
