Centre asks SC to quash FIRs on NEET protesters; CJP's Dipke reacts with Ambedkar book, Saurav Das posts selfie
Here's the latest protest news from across India:
The Central government on Monday moved an application in the Supreme Court, seeking to quash the FIRs filed by the police against protesters led by the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) at Delhi’s Jantar Mantar, along with other states.
Adding to this, CJP founder Abhijeet Dipke reacted to the development with a post on the social media platform X. (X/ Abhijeet Dipke) The FIRs were filed over allegations of violence during the NEET paper leak protests in Delhi and other states. CJP founder Abhijeet Dipke and leader Saurav Das reacted to the development with posts on the social media platform X.
Meanwhile, Solicitor General (SG) Tushar Mehta mentioned the plea before a bench led by Chief Justice of India Surya Kant. He shared that the Centre seeks the top court to invoke its extraordinary powers under Article 142 of the Constitution to quash FIRs against protesters.
Notably, The Supreme Court will take up the case on Tuesday.
As per the latest buzz, CJP founder Abhijeet Dipke reacted to the Centre moving to quash FIRs against NEET protesters with a photo holding a book by Dr BR Ambedkar.
In further updates, Dipke did not write anything in the post. He held the book up to the camera so that Dr Ambedkar's photo would be visible.
On top of that, Ambedkar imagery was a vital part of the CJP-led protest. When Dipke arrived in India back in June, he exited the airport in Delhi holding a book by India's first law minister.
Apart from Dipke, CJP spokesperson Saurav Das also reacted to the development with a cheeky selfie.
