The Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) has announced a fresh protest march in New Delhi on September 5, accusing the Central government of failing to implement commitments made on July 25 that led to the withdrawal of its nationwide youth agitation. The march will begin at India Gate and move towards the New Delhi Police Headquarters, with families of deceased NEET victims and alleged police brutality victims set to lead it.

CJP To March On September 5
The decision was taken after the CJP National Working Committee met on Monday to review the status of the assurances given by the government. The outfit said students, youth organisations and young citizens from across the country will be invited to join the peaceful march.
The party said the protest is aimed mainly at the alleged delay in withdrawing or quashing FIRs registered against students and protesters, along with action on compensation for families of NEET victims.

Why CJP Is Returning To The Streets
CJP said it had called off its 37-day Jantar Mantar agitation on July 25 in good faith after the government accepted its key demands. These included withdrawal of FIRs against protesters, protection from further punitive action and consideration of its five-point exam reform charter.
The controversy intensified after the Supreme Court proceedings on August 18. CJP alleged that the Centre had not given a clear commitment to provide details of FIRs registered across the country, which could help the court consider their quashing.
What Happens Next
The CJP has accused the government of delaying implementation and said its patience should not be mistaken for weakness.
“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 said.
The proposed September 5 march could therefore become the next major test of the dispute between the youth outfit and the government. It is also not yet clear whether Delhi Police will grant formal permission for the proposed route.
