Two MPs and a Congress leader join CJP at Parliament Street station; police change FIR
On Friday morning, a large crowd of media gathered at the entrance of Parliament Street police station, familiar territory for protests. The three notable figures to join the protest were Feroz Gama, a lawyer who witnessed the assault on a father during the CJP protest, Indian Youth Congress leader Akshay Lakra, and Lok Sabha MP Chandra Shekhar, known as 'Azad'.
The protesters demanded justice and demanded rewording of the FIR against Swatantra Bhardwaj, who allegedly beat a 14-year-old student protester's father. By 12:30 pm, Rajesh Ranjan, an Independent MP, arrived alongside the protesters. They all gathered to protest Bhardwaj's actions, with Ranjan holding a copy of the Constitution and demanding action against those who threaten marginalized communities.
