CJP Calls September 5 Delhi March Over Unkept Youth Promises
The Cockroach Janta Party plans to hold a peaceful march in Delhi on September 5.
The march will go from India Gate to Delhi Police headquarters.
The group says the government made promises on July 25 to end earlier protests but has not kept them.
Those protests were about alleged problems with competitive examinations, including NEET.
Protesters also wanted help for families of students who died by suicide.
They wanted police cases against protesters to be withdrawn and protection from punishment.
Families who lost children and people who say police hurt them are expected to walk at the front.
The Supreme Court is considering how to handle cases filed only against students.
The CJP says it is returning to the streets because it believes the government betrayed young people.
The Cockroach Janta Party announced a peaceful September 5 march from India Gate to Delhi Police headquarters.
The campaign accused the Centre of failing to honour commitments that ended its examination-related agitation on July 25.
The protests involved alleged examination irregularities, NEET concerns, demands for compensation, and calls to withdraw protesters’ FIRs.
The CJP said bereaved families and people alleging police brutality would lead the march.
The Supreme Court said it could quash FIRs naming only students, while cases involving serious criminal antecedents would be considered separately.
