CJP warns 'streets of India will once again become the voice of its young' if Centre's July 25 assurances are broken

Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) on Tuesday warned that it would resume its nationwide protest movement if Centre fails to honour its July 25 commitment to withdraw FIRs against protesters and ensure no participant in the student-led agitation faces punitive action.

In an "urgent" statement, CJP chief spokesperson Saurav Das said the party's deadline for the government to fulfil the assurances expires on Tuesday and alleged that recent developments had cast doubt over whether those commitments would be implemented.

"Failing this, and as previously declared, the Cockroach Janta Party will have no option but to resume its nationwide protest to protect the students and young protesters who stood up not for themselves alone, but for the future of this nation. A government that breaks its word cannot expect the youth to remain silent. If the guarantees are dishonoured, the streets of India will once again become the voice of its young," the statement said.
