Adding to this, Why CJP revealed march on September 5 The CJP has called for a peaceful protest march in Delhi on September 5, from India Gate to the Delhi Police headquarters. The group has accused the Centre of failing to fulfil the promises made to young protesters when the Jantar Mantar protest was called off last month. One of the main issues the CJP plans to raise is the July 25 assurance regarding the withdrawal of first information reports registered against protesters. The home departments of at least four states, including Delhi, had issued notifications stating that no action would be taken against protesters in these FIRs. However, the cases have still not been withdrawn. September 5 is observed as Teachers' Day in India, which also ties in with the CJP’s current campaign focusing on government schools.

However, a senior police officer shared on Tuesday that the group has not yet sought permission for the September 5 march.
