🚨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 The FIRs registered ought to be withdrawn too.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 We demand that all detainees/arrestees be released immediately, and in any case by tomorrow, and that all FIRs be withdrawn immediately, failing which we shall take further necessary steps.

Everyone is demanding educational reforms.
Excellent idea.
But can we begin by reforming the media first?
Today, our biggest influencers are not our teachers but TV studios, WhatsApp forwards, YouTube channels and social media trollers. Some of them teach us to hate before we understand, react before we think, and choose narratives over truth.
Whether we call ourselves andhbhakts or wear any other political label, we've all been conditioned to become more partisan and more narrow-minded.
Forget educational reform. Reform the media first. A nation that is fed propaganda every day cannot be educated. It can only be conditioned.

[Pratap @Pratap_btp]

Amid the celebrations, there's one heartbreaking story that deserves our attention.

A student who came to the protest site on 22 July has been missing ever since. His mother has been searching for him for the past three days.

[Saurav Das @SauravDassss]

We sincerely appeal to the @DelhiPolice @CPDelhi to put its best minds into finding her son. We are all with her and very concerned.

Sir,
Coming from you it’s a honour. Ofcourse there are many more names who stood for democracy… but independent journalists have been saying this for years.
The real credit this time goes to Gen Z who answered CJP’s call & stood by them - despite all the lies & misinformation.

[Mohammed Zubair @zoo_bear]

The mainstream ignored the people. The people made alternative media the mainstream.
Now Alternative media is no longer alternative. It's the Mainstream.

DO WATCH: If this won’t make you tear up, nothing will. Yes, there is a ‘new’ India that is SHINING but there is an India that is ANGRY and ANXIOUS too. Listen to their voices too. Well done @TheLallantop for giving a voice and a face to Mohammad Irfan. Salute the young man 👍🇮🇳

ये मोहम्मद इरफ़ान हैं, इन्हें औपचारिक शिक्षा नहीं मिली।
दिल्ली की एक झुग्गी बस्ती में रहते हैं, ये भी जंतर-मंतर पर हुए आंदोलन का हिस्सा थे लेकिन लोगों तक इनकी आवाज़ शायद पहुंच नहीं सकी,

लोकतंत्र पर इनकी बात एक बार ज़रूर सुनिए।

Congratulations ❤️❤️❤️ my Dear Cockroaches.. Dear Sonam wangchuk sir and every single one who stood by the youth . You Have proved that you can bring a regime down to its knees . 💪💪💪 #justasking

[Cockroach is Back @Cockroachisback]

Sonam Wangchuk’s (@Wangchuk66) Gandhian satyagraha awakened an entire nation. Fasting for 26 days for the youth of this country was a pure and supreme sacrifice. It will go down in history as the moral force that united us all against impossible odds.

Words cannot fully express our thanks for your contributions. We love you and are endlessly grateful for your satyagraha.

IT'S A VICTORY OF DEMOCRACY
direct democracy... straight from the streets.
It's a victory of peace, patience & persévérance.
Congratulations CJP, Gen Z of the nation and thank you all citizens for shedding fear and the fear of fear and rising up from every corner of the nation.

FROM ACCOUNTABILITY, NOW TO REFORMS

[Abhijeet Dipke @abhijeet_dipke]

The government is rewarding corruption instead of ensuring accountability!

Last night, the Education Secretary was transferred. He was replaced by an IAS officer from the Animal Husbandry Department who has severe multi-crore corruption charges against him.

The entire crisis around paper leaks and NEET was about systemic corruption. Replacing one bureaucrat with another facing serious corruption allegations is a direct INSULT to young people across India.

Is this the "compromise" the government expects us to accept? This is not accountability. We will not stop until Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan resigns ✊

This regime is sitting on a throne of STOLEN votes! 24 hours later, we bring you Mumbai’s viral voice, Rhiya Ahir, completely unfiltered. Gen Z is furious, fearless, and spitting hard facts. It's time to listen up! 👇

Shout out to independent new media journalists by the way. No one would know a damned thing about what’s really happening on ground without you 👊

I admit it: I underestimated Gen Z. Seeing these viral clips, I’m blown away not just by your bravery, but by your humor, biting wit, and profound grasp of what’s at stake. It’s a wake-up call the world desperately needed. Please take care and stay safe—this is your fight, for your future.👏👏👏
