CJP's Decision to Halt Protest

New Delhi: The Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) announced on Tuesday that it has decided to cancel its planned protest on September 5, following recent developments regarding the FIRs filed against students involved in the NEET paper leak protests.

Saurav Das, co-convenor of the CJP, presented this update to a bench led by Chief Justice Surya Kant, alongside Justices Joymalya Bagchi and V Mohana.

During the proceedings, Solicitor General Tushar Mehta requested the Supreme Court to exercise its authority to dismiss all FIRs against NEET protesters from July 20 to July 25 nationwide.

He assured the bench that the government is dedicated to fulfilling its commitments made to CJP leaders, including providing compensation to the families of students who tragically took their lives after the NEET exam was canceled.

Mehta informed the court that the government intends to compensate the families of the deceased students and requested a three-month period to finalize the details.

Initially, the CJP had organized a protest march in Delhi on September 5, coinciding with Teachers' Day, accusing the government of not adhering to the promises made on July 25, which led to the suspension of their 36-day protest against exam irregularities and the NEET paper leak.

The planned march was to be led by the families of students who committed suicide following the NEET exam cancellation and the subsequent re-test, as well as those who faced police brutality during the July protests.
