CJP meeting today LIVE: The Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) announced that its National Working Committee will meet on August 24 to decide its next course of action. The announcement comes after the outfit raised concerns over the Central Government’s alleged failure to fulfil commitments made to the country’s youth, including assurances regarding the withdrawal or quashing of FIRs registered against students and protesters, as well as compensation for the families of deceased NEET victims....Read More
In a statement, the party alleged that the government had not committed to submitting a comprehensive list of FIRs registered against students and protesters across the country, as directed by the Supreme Court.
“This would have enabled the Court to exercise its extraordinary powers under Article 142 of the Constitution and quash the FIRs simultaneously. However, the government reportedly did not commit to providing such a list,” the statement read.
At a press conference held immediately thereafter, CJP Co-Convener Saurav Das and Legal Affairs Lead Ratna Singh warned that the government appeared to be attempting to “cheat the young generation of this country” after securing the withdrawal of the agitation on the basis of solemn commitments made at the joint press conference.
Calling it an unacceptable breach of trust, the outfit alleged that the Central Government had committed a “vishwasghaat” against the youth of the country.
The party said that all measures necessary to secure the government’s fulfilment of its commitments would remain on the table, including another round of peaceful nationwide agitation, if necessary.
It added, “A commitment made to the youth of India must be honoured, both in letter and in spirit. We therefore request students, young citizens, supporters, and CJP volunteers across the country to remain prepared for what comes next on August 24.”
CJP Meeting Today LIVE: What will happen at today's meet
CJP Meeting Today LIVE: The National Working Committee meeting on August 24 will assess the status of the commitments and decide the party's next course of action.
The CJP has said "all measures necessary" to secure fulfilment of the government's commitments will be considered, including another round of peaceful nationwide agitation. It has also asked students, young citizens, supporters and volunteers to remain prepared for the outcome of the meeting.
The party had called off its nationwide agitation on July 25 after the government gave assurances to the youth. It now says those commitments must be honoured "both, in letter and in spirit".
The CJP's Monday meeting will therefore be closely watched for whether the party gives the Centre more time to act on the assurances or decides to revive its nationwide mobilisation.
CJP Meeting Today LIVE: Why is CJP considering another march?
CJP Meeting Today LIVE: The party's immediate concern is what it describes as a lack of formal communication from the government on the implementation of the assurances.
The August 18 Supreme Court hearing has further heightened the CJP's concerns. The party said the court repeatedly sought a consolidated list of FIRs but the Centre did not commit to providing it, despite the list potentially allowing the court to consider quashing the cases under Article 142.
Following the hearing, CJP co-convener Saurav Das and legal affairs lead Ratna Singh warned that the government appeared to be attempting to "cheat" the younger generation after the party withdrew its agitation based on commitments made during talks.
CJP Meeting Today LIVE: What has the Centre already conceded?
CJP Meeting Today LIVE: The CJP has said its earlier agitation resulted in the resignation of then-education minister Dharmendra Pradhan.
However, the party maintains that the resignation was only one outcome of the agitation and that it will not consider its commitments fulfilled until the remaining assurances are implemented.
"The protests achieved Dharmendra Pradhan's resignation but rest assured, we will not rest until each and every commitment made to the young generation is fulfilled," the party said.
CJP Meeting Today LIVE: CJP demands compensation for families of deceased NEET victims
CJP Meeting Today LIVE: Compensation for the families of deceased NEET victims is the third major commitment the CJP says remains pending.
The party has demanded "honourable compensation" for the families of those who died after the NEET-UG examination was cancelled amid the paper leak controversy.
The CJP said the government delegation involved in talks with the party has not formally reached out to place on record the steps being taken to fulfil this commitment. The party is seeking a written assurance on the issue.
CJP Meeting Today LIVE: CJP accused Centre of breaking trust as key demands remain pending
CJP Meeting Today LIVE: The Cockroach Janta Party on Sunday called on the government to fulfil the pending demands promised at the Jantar Mantar protest.
The online outfit-turned-pressure group has accused the Centre of betraying the youth of the country and breaking their trust.
"We will not allow the Government to insult an entire generation by making promises to end a peaceful movement and then attempting to wriggle out of those very promises once the streets have emptied. A commitment made to the youth of India must be honoured both, in letter and in spirit," the CJP wrote in an official statement.
CJP Meeting Today LIVE | CJP's second demand: Guarantee against punitive action against students, peaceful protesters
CJP Meeting Today LIVE: The CJP also says the Centre had committed that no student or peaceful protester would face punitive action in the future.
The party described the assurance as unambiguous and linked it to its decision to withdraw the nationwide agitation.
The CJP has now warned that any attempt to move away from this commitment would constitute a breach of trust.
The party is seeking clarity from the government on how this assurance is being implemented and what safeguards are being put in place to ensure students and peaceful protesters do not face punitive action.
CJP Meeting Today LIVE: CJP's Saurav Das alleges ‘vishwasghaat’ by government; cites reason for key meet
CJP Meeting Today LIVE: CJP spokesperson Saurav Das explained that during the hearing, the Supreme Court asked the government's lawyers three times to provide a list of all the FIRs filed against protesters across the country.
He alleged that the government did not adhere to the Supreme Court directive.
CJP Meeting Today LIVE: What assurances are still pending?
CJP Meeting Today LIVE: The CJP's primary demand is the withdrawal or quashing of FIRs registered against students and protesters in connection with the protests.
The issue came up before the Supreme Court on August 18, when the court asked the Union government three separate times to provide a consolidated list of FIRs registered against students and protesters across the country.
According to the CJP, the list would have allowed the Supreme Court to consider using its extraordinary powers under Article 142 of the Constitution to quash the cases together.
CJP Meeting Today LIVE: CJP raises questions over government conduct after Jantar Mantar protest
CJP Meeting Today LIVE: The Cockroach Janta Party said the government delegation that held talks with the CJP has not formally communicated the steps being taken to fulfil these commitments.
It has warned that any attempt to "dilute, delay, reinterpret or dishonour" the assurances would amount to "vishwasghaat" (betrayal) of the country's youth.
CJP Meeting Today LIVE: CJP's three concerns ahead of key meet
CJP Meeting Today LIVE: The CJP has particularly raised concerns over the lack of progress on three key assurances:
1. Withdrawal or quashing of FIRs registered against students and protesters.
2. A guarantee that students and peaceful protesters will not face punitive action.
3. Compensation for the families of deceased NEET victims.
