‘If govt doesn’t demonstrate…': CJP issues big 'two-day' warning over FIRs on protesting students
Here's the latest protest news from across India:
The Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) on Tuesday issued an ultimatum to the union government, accusing it of “trying to betray” the country's youth over FIRs registered against students who protested at Delhi’s Jantar Mantar last month.
Adding to this, CJP Spokesperson Saurav Das warned that if the Government does not “immediately demonstrate concrete steps towards honouring the July 25 commitments”, the outfit will convene its National Working Committee within the next two days to decide the next course of nationwide action. (ANI) CJP spokesperson Saurav Das shared in a post on X that while the Supreme Court sought a consolidated list of FIRs against students to quash, the lawyers representing the centre resisted.
Meanwhile, “The Government of India is trying to betray the youth of this nation. During today’s hearing, the Supreme Court made its intention very clear: it sought a list of FIRs registered against students and protesters across the country from the Union Government so that it can quash all of them at one go, in exercise of its powers under Article 142,” Das wrote, sharing the video.
Notably, “The Court sought this information not once, not twice, but thrice. Yet, the Union Government’s lawyer did not commit to furnishing such a list and instead actively resisted it. But why?” he added.
As per the latest buzz, Das shared that the CJP had called off its protest on July 25 “in good faith” after the Government of India committed to withdrawing FIRs, protecting protesters from punitive action, and compensating affected families. But he shared the centre is now resisting, even though the Supreme Court has laid out a path to fulfil one of those commitments.
In further updates, “We will not permit the Government to play games with the trust of India’s students, Gen-Z and young citizens. CJP has exercised patience. We have negotiated in good faith. We called off our agitation in good faith. And we have given the Government sufficient opportunity to honour its commitments in good faith. That patience is now running out. And therefore we now warn the government," the post further read.
On top of that, Saurav Das warned that if the Government does not “immediately demonstrate concrete steps towards honouring the July 25 commitments”, the Cockroach Janta Party will convene its National Working Committee within the next two days to decide the next course of nationwide action.
“We hope the Government understands the seriousness of this moment. Do not mistake restraint for surrender. Do not mistake good faith for weakness. And do not play with the trust of an entire generation,” Das wrote.
