NEW DELHI: The Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) has called for a nationwide peaceful protest on Friday, July 24, urging students and civil society groups to hold demonstrations across districts in solidarity with those allegedly subjected to police brutality during the ongoing anti-NEET protest.In a poster shared on its official social media handles, the CJP appealed for coordinated protests across the country under the slogan “Every District. One Day. One Demand.”The outfit said the demonstrations would be held in solidarity with victims of alleged police brutality during the ongoing agitation over examination irregularities.The poster urged student unions and other organisations to collaborate, obtain necessary permissions and organise peaceful gatherings in their respective districts.It also asked participants to publicly read out the protesters’ demands before the assembled crowd as a mark of solidarity with those allegedly affected by police action.The CJP said a detailed standard operating procedure (SOP), campaign material and a memorandum template had been made available on its website to assist organisers.The nationwide call comes days after the CJP’s ‘Sansad Chalo’ march in Delhi witnessed clashes between protesters and police, with both sides alleging excessive force and multiple FIRs being registered following the violence.The outfit has maintained that its movement will continue until its key demands, including action over the alleged NEET-UG paper leak and the resignation of Union education minister Dharmendra Pradhan, are addressed.
