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

Union minister Jagat Prakash Nadda expressed satisfaction with the Cockroach Janta Party's decision to halt their planned march on September 5 in central Lutyens’ Delhi. The youth advancement is the foremost concern of the BJP-led NDA administration, Nadda declared. Earlier this month, Nadda and his Cabinet associate Jitendra Singh held numerous discussions with CJP representatives during intense protests at Jantar Mantar over the latter's requests.

The government committed to dropping criminal charges against students involved in July 20 protests, which included confrontations with security forces, Nadda mentioned. "On 25 July 2026, my colleague Shri Jitendra Singh and I had a conversation with the student representatives regarding the ongoing protest at Jantar Mantar. Keeping the students future in mind, we had assured on behalf of the Government of India that the cases registered against the protesting students would be withdrawn and no harsh action would be taken against them in the future either," Nadda stated.

The minister emphasized the priority of the government's stance on youth progress following the Supreme Court's approval of the government's decision to refrain from prosecuting students involved in the July 20 protests.
