AISA Backs September 5 Delhi March, Demands Student Cases Withdrawn
A student group called AISA will support a protest march in Delhi on September 5.
The march is being organised by the Cockroach Janta Party.
Protesters want cases against students to be withdrawn.
They also want an investigation into claims that pellets and bullets were fired during earlier protests.
Families affected by the NEET controversy are expected to take part.
AISA says the government has not properly listened to students and ordinary people.
Delhi Police says it has not received an application for the march yet.
AISA says protests should be allowed as a democratic way for people to raise concerns.

The organisation demanded withdrawal of FIRs against students and an inquiry into alleged pellet and bullet firing during earlier demonstrations.
The march is expected to include families of students who died by suicide after the NEET exam cancellation and re-test.
The Cockroach Janta Party plans to resume peaceful mobilisation after a month-long pause following negotiations with the Centre.
