CJP Calls Delhi March After Centre Fails to Deliver on July 25 Pact

The youth-led Cockroach Janta Party says missed assurances on FIR withdrawal and compensation have forced renewed street mobilisation and legal pressure on the government.

The agitation took place under the banner of “Reservation Hatao Andolan” – an Instagram-based page with around 5.6 million followers.

Overview

  • The Cockroach Janta Party announced a peaceful march from India Gate to the Delhi Police headquarters on September 5, saying the government has not implemented the commitments that ended the July 25 agitation.
  • The Supreme Court has asked the Centre for a nationwide list of FIRs registered against students and protesters and on August 20 set up a five-member high-powered expert committee led by Justice R. Subhash Reddy to probe police excesses.
  • The court ordered the committee to give priority to complaints of sexual assault and signalled it could use Article 142 to quash suitable FIRs if it receives the requested list from the government.
  • State-level student agitations over exam and recruitment irregularities have intensified, with violent clashes, water-cannon and lathi-charge reports from Patna and multiple detentions of protesters in Bengaluru.
  • Pressure is now both judicial and political as petitioners seek reconstitution or greater scrutiny of the Supreme Court panel, families of NEET victims and protest leaders lead the proposed march, and no state has formally withdrawn the July 20-related FIRs.
