CJP Demands Release of Protesters and FIR Withdrawal Amid NEET Agitation Disputes
The Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) has accused the government of breaching assurances given during talks that no punitive action would be taken against protesters involved in the NEET paper leak agitation. Despite the protest suspension following Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan's resignation, reports emerged of arrests and FIRs filed in Assam, Bihar, West Bengal, and Delhi. The CJP demands immediate release of detainees, withdrawal of FIRs, and a written agreement, warning of renewed protests if commitments are unmet. Bihar and Assam governments have announced FIR withdrawals and detainee releases, while West Bengal has yet to follow suit. The CJP also launched a legal aid fund with support from Kapil Sibal to assist affected protesters.
