CJP Warns Govt of Fresh Stir: "Stop Targeting Students or Face Nationwide Protests"

 CJP Warns Government of Fresh Protests Over Alleged Harassment of Student Demonstrators

New Delhi — Tensions between student groups and law enforcement are escalating once again following allegations that authorities are failing to honor post-protest agreements.

The Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) has issued a stern warning to the government: halt the harassment and targeting of student protesters or face a new wave of widespread, peaceful demonstrations.

Key Highlights of the Situation

Threat of New Protests: CJP founder Abhijeet Dipke warned via social media that continued police action against students would trigger immediate, large-scale peaceful protests across the nation.

Mixed Responses Across States: While state governments in Bihar, Assam, and West Bengal have begun withdrawing FIRs registered against demonstrators, Delhi Police has yet to initiate any formal action.

Delhi Police Stand: Local officials in Delhi confirmed that no official orders or communications regarding the withdrawal of cases have been received so far.

Supreme Court Order Concerns: CJP representatives expressed strong apprehensions that recent Supreme Court directions allowing state authorities to proceed with investigations could be "weaponized" to target peaceful dissenters.

Background: What Led to the Standoff?

The recent wave of agitation began over issues surrounding national examinations, including the cancellation of NEET on May 3. The 36-day protest at Jantar Mantar was called off on July 25 after negotiations with the central government.

The CJP’s Key Demands Included:

Resignation/removal of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan.

Financial compensation for families of students affected by the NEET exam cancellation.

Complete withdrawal of all police cases (FIRs) and formal assurances against future punitive action.

Current Concerns and Way Forward

Although 600 detainees in Delhi were previously released, the lack of written documentation confirming the agreement has raised serious mistrust among student leaders.

CJP chief spokesperson Saurav Das noted that the promised written assurance from the Centre has not yet been delivered. Student representatives argue that without clear legal immunity, individual demonstrators remain vulnerable to prolonged harassment through ongoing police inquiries.

Unless the central government and local law enforcement clarify their stance on FIR withdrawals, the capital may soon witness another major round of student-led agitations.
