'Empty promises': Cockroach Janta Party warns of another Jantar Mantar-like protest, accuses Centre of 'vishwasghat'

The online outfit-turned-pressure group has accused the Centre of betraying the youth of the country and breaking their trust.

'Empty promises': Cockroach Janta Party warns of another Jantar Mantar-like protest, accuses Centre of 'vishwasghat'

The Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) is set to meet its national working committee on Monday to evaluate the Centre's promises that led to the suspension of its nationwide protest on July 25. The party asserts that any move to retract the promises would be perceived as "vishwasghaat" (betrayal) towards the nation's youth. CJP has been advocating for the fulfillment of the Centre's assurances on issues such as the withdrawal or quashing of FIRs linked to the protests, ensuring that students and peaceful protesters will not face punitive measures in the future, and providing compensation to the families of NEET-UG candidates who took their own lives following the cancellation of exams in May due to paper-leak allegations.

Further, fresh guidelines have been issued to Delhi Police personnel to maintain calm during protests, refrain from provoking them, and ensure the protesters' safety and uninterrupted movement.
