CJP warns of fresh protests if FIRs against student protestor not withdrawn

NEW DELHI, July 27: The Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) on Monday warned the Centre that it would launch another round of protests if criminal cases against students and volunteers involved in the anti-paper leak agitation are not withdrawn. In a fresh statement, CJP spokesperson AshutoshRanka urged the Union government, particularly Union Ministers JP Nadda and Jitendra Singh, to ensure that all detained students are released, existing FIRs are withdrawn and no fresh cases are registered against protesters.

"We demand that all the FIRs against the protestors be immediately withdrawn, students be released and no future FIRs be filed (in line with our agreement) by Delhi police / Central investigative agencies / Police in BJP-allied states, failing which we will be forced to sit on protest again," Ranka wrote on X.

His remarks came a day after fellow CJP spokesperson Saurav Das expressed concern over reports of students, volunteers and protesters allegedly being detained and targeted in different parts of the country.

Before calling off its 37-day protest at Delhi's JantarMantar, the CJP had said the government had assured its leaders that no legal or police action would be taken against those who participated in demonstrations in Delhi or elsewhere.

"The CJP continues to closely monitor the situation and expects the Government of India and all BJP/NDA state governments to act with utmost urgency, responsibility, and good faith that the present circumstances demand," Das said in a statement.�" Z NEWS
