New Delhi, Aug. 25 -- The Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) on Monday announced a peaceful protest march in Delhi on September 5 from India Gate to the Delhi police headquarters, alleging that the Centre failed to honour commitments made to young protesters when the stir at Jantar Mantar was called off last month. Among the prominent issues the CJP will raise are assurances given on July 25 on the withdrawal of first information reports registered against protesters. Despite notifications given by the home departments of at least four states - including Delhi - that no action would be taken against protesters in those FIRs, they have not yet been withdrawn. September 5 is marked as Teachers Day in India, dovetailing with the CJP's current focus on government schools. The 2.5-km march will see the families of National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET) aspirants who died by suicide and victims of alleged police brutality take part. Students, youth organisations and young citizens from across the country have been invited to participate in the event. But a senior Delhi Police officer said that the department had not received any request for a march or protest, adding that prohibitory orders under Section 163 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita are already in force in the New Delhi district area where India Gate is located, and that protests and marches are only allowed near Jantar Mantar with prior permission. The last notable protest or march allowed near India Gate was in 2012, in the aftermath of the December gang-rape and murder. The decision came after the CJP's national working committee reviewed the status of commitments made by the Union government and National Democratic Alliance-ruled states, following the withdrawal of the protests on July 25, the party said. "Members of the committee expressed serious doubts over whether the government intends to honour its word at all. For a month now, instead of implementing what was solemnly promised, the government played delay games, hidden behind technicalities, and avoided giving clear commitments even before the Supreme Court of India," the party said in a statement. The withdrawal of all cases and first information reports (FIRs) was part of the three conditions - the others being the resignation of former education minister Dharmendra Pradhan and Rs 1 crore compensation to the families of NEET aspirants who died by suicide - involved in calling off the Jantar Mantar stir on July 25. To be sure, states such as Bihar, Uttar Pradesh, Assam, West Bengal and Maharashtra have announced that they will not take any legal action against people participating in protests. But in no state have FIRs been withdrawn. In Delhi itself, at least 13 FIRs were registered under various sections of the BNS, including attempt to murder and criminal conspiracy and prevention of defacement of public property act. All cases were against unknown people. During the meeting on June 25, Union minister JP Nadda said the CJP representatives came to the meeting with a written draft on cases filed during the July 20 agitation. "After the discussion, the first point was that no action should be taken and no FIRs should be filed. If any FIRs have already been registered, whether by the Delhi Police or in BJP-ruled states, it will be withdrawn," Nadda had said. Last week, the Supreme Court had also returned to the issue of FIRs, while announcing the setting up of a high-powered committee. Solicitor general Tushar Mehta had said that the Centre and Delhi Police were not opposing the quashing of FIRs against student protesters, but maintained that persons with serious criminal antecedents who had allegedly infiltrated the protests could not be treated on the same footing. The bench, however, had said that the authorities could not leave such persons as a generic category of "undesired elements" and would have to identify them. "Your agency must have identified those who were students and the others who were undesired elements. Unless we have the list, how are we going to quash it?" the bench had asked. The court had also stressed that students participating in a peaceful and lawful protest have constitutional protection under Article 19, while distinguishing them from persons with serious criminal antecedents who may have entered the gathering and indulged in violence. The CJP alleged that the top court repeatedly sought a list of FIRs registered across the country so that it could consider dealing with them together. "Yet, the Union government refused to give a clear commitment to do so," the party said, adding that the written assurance it said was promised by the government also remained pending. CJP chief spokesperson Saurav Das said the organisation had decided to resume peaceful mobilisation after the government failed to fulfil the assurances that led to the withdrawal of the earlier agitation. "The Cockroach Janta Party calls for a peaceful protest march at India Gate, New Delhi on September 5," Das said on X. The CJP statement said the latest mobilisation was a response to what it described as the government's failure to act on the assurances. "This cannot continue. Our patience cannot be mistaken for weakness. Our good faith cannot become an opportunity for the Government to betray us," the statement said. The party said the families of NEET aspirants who died would walk at the front of the march, with victims of police brutality alongside them. It also appealed to students and young people to gather at India Gate on September 5 and participate in the march peacefully. The CJP first garnered millions of followers on social media before launching an indefinite sit-in protest on June 20 demanding the resignation of Dharmendra Pradhan over repeated question paper leaks - including one earlier this year. After days of tepid crowds, the movement was galvanised by the hunger strike and forcible removal of activist Sonam Wangchuk last week. Crowds swelled through the weekend and by July 20, columns of people -- many of them students, first-time agitators and young professionals....
