🚨STATEMENT

We are deeply concerned by multiple reports reaching us of students and other protestors being targeted, detained, or arrested by various state agencies, particularly in Assam, West Bengal, and Bihar.

The Cockroach Janta Party had called off its nationwide protest only after the Government of India assured us that no punitive action would be taken against any protestor, either now or in the future, in any BJP-ruled or NDA-ruled states. The reports emerging from these states are therefore a matter of grave concern.

First, we wish to assure every protestor that our legal team is already coordinating with brilliant lawyers in the concerned states to secure the release of those detained and to extend all possible legal assistance. This has been happening from Day 1.

Second, we call upon the Government of India, particularly @JPNadda ji and @DrJitendraSingh ji, to immediately honour the assurance given to us by ensuring the release of those detained and by directing that no coercive or retaliatory action is taken against any protestor anywhere in the country. The FIRs registered ought to be withdrawn too.

The Government of India is also reminded of its commitment to furnish us the written guarantee in this regard by tomorrow, Tuesday, 28 July 2026.

Our decision to suspend the nationwide protest was taken in good faith and solely on the basis of the government’s assurance that it would stand by its word. Any departure from that assurance would not merely amount to a breach of trust with the Cockroach Janta Party but would also be a breach of public trust with lakhs of young Indians who chose dialogue over protests.

Such breach of trust will be completely unacceptable to the youth.

The Government of India is reminded that it derives credibility not from just making a promise, but from the promises they honour.

To the young protestors we say, hold on. We are with you. The CJP continues to closely monitor the situation and expects the Government of India and all BJP/NDA state governments to act with utmost urgency, responsibility, and good faith that the present circumstances demand. We demand that all detainees/arrestees be released immediately, and in any case by tomorrow, and that all FIRs be withdrawn immediately, failing which we shall take further necessary steps.

Dear @JPNadda @DrJitendraSingh ji,

We are observing a complete breach of the agreement regarding no police action against the protestors. Hundreds of students have been arrested in Bihar and Bengal, and hundreds are being surveilled/harrassed in Delhi and other states. Multiple reports are emerging in Delhi around detention of volunteers supporting protestors with logistics.

We demand that all the FIRs against the protestors be immediately withdrawn, students be released and no future FIRs be filed (in line with our agreement) by Delhi police / Central investigative agencies / Police in BJP-allied states, FAILING WHICH WE WILL BE FORCED TO SIT ON PROTEST AGAIN.

We also demand that the written agreement around legal cases be shared with us by tomorrow, the aligned timelines with the Government of India.

@amitmalviya BJP is a ‘political’ party. BJP is in the centre. One of the central tenet of Democracy (a word which BJP has supposedly not understood in the past 12 years) is ‘Opposition’. So @amitmalviya every challenge to the government will be ‘political’. maybe read a class 9 civics book.

This protest has proved that these two independent YouTubers have better credibility than mainstream news channels.

Great work @Samdish @sundaysarthak. This country needs more like you!!

Police in New Delhi used tear gas, batons, and internet shutdowns against largely peaceful student-led protests on July 20 🧵⤵️

Yesterday, the nation witnessed lathicharges, tear gas shells, and the crushing of a peaceful Democratic protest by the Government. The voices of students demanding justice were met with force instead of answers. This is not how a 'Mother of Democracy' treats its young children.

In these painful circumstances, I have decided not to celebrate my birthday today.

I am deeply grateful to all Congress leaders, workers, supporters, well wishers, and every citizen who has conveyed their warm wishes. Your affection means a great deal to me, and I thank each one of you from the bottom of my heart.

But today is not a day for celebration. It is a day to seek accountability. Restore Democracy.

Why were students demanding justice met with brutal lathis and tear gas? Why was the Parliament virtually sealed and the internet shutdown? Who will take responsibility for repeated paper leaks and the suffering of lakhs of young people?

1) The government must immediately allow a full discussion on this issue in Parliament.

2) Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan, must resign, taking moral and political responsibility for the matter.

3) A 21st century student centric examination system with secure digital question banks and randomised papers.

4) An independent and merit driven education system, with higher spending on education, free from the political interference of the RSS.

5) Statutory protection for students through mandatory re-examinations and compensation, whenever examination irregularities occur.

Our children deserve justice, not repression.

Viral allegation by @PMFNEWS that goons were deployed along with the @DelhiPolice - they assaulted students & protesters (in this case for just asking a question)
I'm sure that Delhi Police spokesperson will have an explanation (like this man is their Hamza or something) However - are plainclothes cops allowed to sport gold earrings? Cool perk!
(see the brutality of this goon / policeman below 👇🏼)

ये लोग कौन हैं जो लाठी लेकर आए थे? एक समय था जब क्राइम रिपोर्टर पुलिस से पहले बता देते थे। लगता है अब वे भी व्हाट्स ग्रुप के खटाल में बाँध दिए गए हैं। JNU के साबरमती हॉस्टल में अचानक गुंडे घुस आए। उस केस का क्या हुआ? किसी को सज़ा हुई?

एक ऐतिहासिक घड़ी के गवाह बन रहे हैं।

आज संसद की ओर जाने वाली हर सड़क पर युवा हैं। पचास साल बाद उन्होंने फिर याद दिलाया है - संसद का रास्ता सड़क से होकर जाता है।

प्रधानमंत्री मोदी भारत के इतिहास के सबसे युवा-विरोधी प्रधानमंत्री हैं - इतने युवा विरोधी कि एक नाकाम शिक्षा मंत्री धर्मेंद्र प्रधान का इस्तीफा भी नहीं ले सकते।

152 पेपर लीक। 7.5 करोड़ छात्र पीड़ित। और सज़ा एक दोषी को भी नहीं। सजा किसे मिली? मेहनती युवाओं को।

और जब इन बच्चों ने शिक्षा के जायज़ सवाल उठाए - तो जवाब में मिली लाठी और हिरासत। लीक करने वाले अपराधी आज़ाद - और वाजिब मुद्दे उठाने वाले छात्र घसीटे जाते हैं, पीटे जाते हैं।

यह सरकार सिर्फ़ युवाओं को नाकाम नहीं कर रही - उनपर टूट पड़ी है।

स्कूलों में टीचर से कहा जाता है कि आप बच्चों पर छड़ी नहीं चला सकते। उन्हीं बच्चों पर पुलिस लाठी चला रही थी। शहर देख रहा था। बच्चों के माँ बाप और उनके व्हाट्स एप अंकिल चुपचाप देख रहे थे। पेपर लीक करने वाले आज पार्टी मना रहे होंगे। मनाओ तुम लोग। अभी धर्म का मुद्दा खोजा जा रहा होगा ताकी गोदी ऐंकर धर्म रक्षक बन कर चिल्लाने आ जाएँ। जनता को पता है गोदी मालिक, गोदी ऐंकर, गोदी संपादक अपने पेशे के धर्म की रक्षा कभी कर ही नहीं सकते।अख़बारों की हेडलाइन कैसे मैनेज होगी? लिख कर दे दिया गया है या ख़ुद से लिख लेंगे?

Who are these 'lathiveers' without uniform, who were beating students? If they are policemen, the police dept should reveal identity.
If they're not, they should be identified too and the nation should know who authorised them.
