Youth’s progress govt’s priority: Nadda welcomes CJP decision to call off Sept 5 march

Union minister Jagat Prakash Nadda expressed satisfaction on Tuesday with the Cockroach Janta Party's (CJP) announcement to cancel their planned demonstration on September 5 in the core of Lutyens' Delhi. Prime Minister Narendra Modi's political party, the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) government, regards the advancement and development of the nation's youth as its paramount concern, Nadda stated.

Nadda and his Cabinet peer, Jitendra Singh, had several discussions with representatives of the CJP following the tumultuous protests at Jantar Mantar last month. The protests emerged from the youth's demands, which culminated in clashes between protesters and security forces. In response to these events, the Centre submitted to the Supreme Court that it would not pursue criminal proceedings against students involved in the July 20 protests. Additionally, clashes between protesters and security personnel had also taken place.

In a meeting on July 25, 2026, Nadda and Singh assured the students' representatives on behalf of the Government of India that the cases registered against the protesting students would be dropped, and they would not face harsh actions in the future. Nadda further affirmed that their government is diligently working towards fulfilling the promise made to the students. The CJP spokesperson's decision to scrap the September 5 protest was welcomed by the government, which prioritizes the progress and development of the youth.
