The Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) has announced another protest in the national capital, weeks after suspending its nationwide student movement, alleging that the government has not followed through on assurances made during negotiations on July 25.

The organisation said the new demonstration will take place on September 5, with protesters planning to march from India Gate to the New Delhi Police Headquarters.

CJP spokesperson Saurav Das said the proposed demonstration would remain peaceful. He accused the Centre of betraying young protesters and the families of students who died by suicide, while expressing doubts over whether the government intends to implement the commitments agreed upon in July.

According to Das, the march will be led by families of students who died by suicide and people who were allegedly injured during the police action on July 20.

WHY HAS CJP CALLED A FRESH PROTEST?

The latest announcement follows growing disagreement over the implementation of the understanding reached when the student agitation was withdrawn on July 25.

The CJP's campaign had begun at Jantar Mantar on June 20, with protesters raising concerns over alleged examination irregularities and the NEET-UG paper leak controversy.

Tensions escalated on July 20 when protesters attempted to march towards Parliament. The demonstration turned confrontational following police intervention, with several protesters reportedly injured.

Five days later, the movement was called off after Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan resigned and the government agreed to several demands raised by the protesting organisation.

Among the issues discussed were compensation for families of NEET aspirants who died by suicide, withdrawal of criminal cases registered against demonstrators and continued dialogue over broader reforms to the examination system.

CJP representatives Saurav Das and Ashutosh Ranka had announced the decision to suspend the agitation alongside Union ministers JP Nadda and Jitendra Singh. The organisation said it was ending the movement in good faith on the expectation that the agreed measures would be implemented within the promised timeframe.

FIR ISSUE AT CENTRE OF DISPUTE

The disagreement subsequently moved to the Supreme Court.

During proceedings on August 18, the CJP alleged that the Centre was not cooperating with efforts to withdraw or quash FIRs filed against students and other protesters.

The organisation had warned at the time that failure to demonstrate tangible progress on the July 25 understanding could trigger another round of nationwide protests.

The latest September 5 announcement signals that the dispute has now returned to the streets.

The CJP said families who lost their children and those affected by the July 20 police action would be prominent participants in the proposed march. The organisation is demanding that the government honour what it says were the commitments that persuaded protesters to end their earlier agitation.

The fresh mobilisation is therefore expected to focus heavily on the status of FIRs, protection for protesters from further punitive action and the demand for a formal written assurance from the Centre.
