CJP calls off Sept 5 march after Centre asks SC to drop FIRs against protesters

The Cockroach Janata Party (CJP) has withdrawn its call for a protest march on September 5 after the Supreme Court, at the Centre's request, dismissed all FIRs filed against students involved in NEET protests. CJP co-convener Sourav Das announced the decision during a hearing in the Supreme Court, expressing gratitude for the assurance provided by the government and the judicial respect shown to the protesters.

Chief Justice of India Surya Kant praised the CJP's decision, emphasizing the importance of resolving disputes through mutual good faith. Solicitor General Tushar Mehta informed the court that the Centre is committed to fulfilling the three assurances given to CJP leaders: not pursuing FIRs registered between July 20 and 25, not registering any new FIRs, and providing compensation to students who died by suicide following the NEET paper leak.

The Centre is working on the modalities to fulfill the third assurance, which involves compensating the families of students who committed suicide after the NEET exam cancellation.
