The Cockroach Janta Party on Monday announced that it will hold a peaceful march from India Gate to Delhi Police Headquarters on September 5 over government’s failure to honour its July 25 commitments.
In a statement released after a key press meet, the party said that the march will be led by families of deceased NEET victims and victims of police brutality that allegedly took place on July 20th ‘Sansad Chlao’ march. It said families who had lost their children and victims of police brutality would lead the march. Yet, the Government refused to give a clear commitment to do so. The written assurance from the Government to the CJP is also due.
It said the young generation had trusted the promises made by the government on July 25 and that it had withdrawn its nationwide movement in good faith. CJP called on young Indians, students, youth and student organisations to gather at India Gate on September 5 and peacefully march with it. It alleged that the union government refused to give commitment to Supreme Court’s directive of providing a list of FIRs registered across the country so that the Court could consider quashing them together, at one go. “On 18 August, the Supreme Court repeatedly asked the Union Government to provide a list of FIRs registered across the country so that the Court could consider quashing them together, at one go, making the commitment easiest to fulfil.
“We announce a peaceful protest march from India Gate to the new Delhi Police Headquarters on 5 September, led by the families of the deceased NEET victims and victims of police brutality, and joined by students and young citizens from across the country,” the statement read. “For a month now, instead of implementing what was solemnly promised, the Government has played delay games, hidden behind technicalities, and avoided giving clear commitments even before the Supreme Court of India,” the statement read. CJP said it had been “forced to return to the streets” as the government appeared determined to commit a “vishwasghaat” with Gen-Z and families who had lost their children.
