Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) on Thursday issued a nationwide call for a "peaceful protest" on Friday, July 24, urging student unions and other organisations to gather across districts in solidarity with those it claimed were victims of police brutality, reports the Economic Times.
In a post on X, CJP announced a campaign titled "Every District. One Day. One Demand." and appealed for coordinated demonstrations across the country.
The post said the protests are aimed at standing "in solidarity with victims of police brutality in across India."
Under a section titled "What & How To Do", the party asked student unions and other organisations to "collaborate and work together for permission and logistics."
It also directed organisers to read out students' demands during the gatherings. "In front of the full gathering, read out the students' demands aloud. Show solidarity to those who faced police brutality," the post said.
The outfit said a detailed standard operating procedure (SOP), protest collaterals and a memorandum template were available on its website for organisers.
The post concluded with the slogans "INQUILAB ZINDABAD" and "BHARAT MATA KI JAI."
The protest call came even as the Centre renewed its invitation for dialogue with the youth-led outfit. Union Minister Jitendra Singh said the government had sent four formal proposals for discussions with CJP representatives since Wednesday afternoon and remained willing to hold talks at any time.
"The govt has sent four formal proposals for discussions with their representatives since last afternoon...This is a standing invitation to all our youth friends that the government is ready for discussions on all issues at your convenience, at any time," Singh said.
Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi vowed on Thursday "stringent punishment" for those involved in exam fraud that has fuelled student anger, in his first direct comments tied to major protests challenging his government.
"Nothing is more important than the welfare and future of our youth," he said in a social media post, promising to set up fast-track courts to punish those involved in question paper leaks.
