CJP warns of fresh protests over Centre’s ‘promise breach’
The Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) has threatened to resume protests, alleging that the government breached an agreement to halt punitive actions against student demonstrators. While Bihar has agreed to withdraw FIRs, tensions remain high regarding the treatment of protesters in other states.
Why it matters
The breakdown of protest agreements highlights the fragility of negotiations between student movements and state authorities regarding civil liberties.
The Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) on Monday (July 27, 2026) warned of fresh protests, accusing the Centre of violating its assurance that no punitive action would be taken against protesters.
“We are observing a complete breach of the agreement regarding no police action against the protesters. Hundreds of students have been arrested in Bihar and Bengal, and hundreds are being surveilled/harassed in Delhi and other states,” CJP spokesperson Ashutosh Ranka said in a post on X .
While the Bihar government announced later in the evening about withdrawing all FIRs against protesters registered before 6 p.m. on July 26, there was no word from the West Bengal government at the time of going to press despite a CJP appeal on social media to Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari.
