Protest group awaits written guarantee on FIR withdrawals
Hindustan Times··29 Jul
Cockroach Janta Party spokesperson Saurav Das said the government has invited him and shown a Supreme Court order, but no written guarantee on dropping FIRs against student protesters has been issued yet. He said the government's representatives had earlier shared notifications from Bihar and Assam guaranteeing FIR withdrawal and release of those detained during the NEET-UG protests.

What It Means For You
- Families of students detained during NEET protests can track whether written guarantees actually convert into FIR withdrawals in their home states.
- Protesters and their supporters get visibility into how negotiated commitments with government representatives are being honoured state by state.
- Anyone following the protest movement gets a marker of whether promised de-escalation is translating into concrete legal relief.
What's Happening
- Cockroach Janta Party spokesperson Saurav Das said the government has not yet issued a written guarantee on withdrawing FIRs against student protesters.
- Das said government representatives met CJP leaders and shared notifications from Bihar and Assam guaranteeing FIR withdrawal and release of detainees.
- He said the government had reiterated a promise to issue similar notifications from the Union government and other BJP-ruled states.
Two States Down, Several Still Pending
- The CJP ended its 36-day protest at Jantar Mantar after the Centre accepted demands including the resignation of the education minister.
- The Supreme Court separately welcomed the release of detained minors without criminal antecedents during the protests, a step CJP said it supports.
- Das warned that if the government's written commitments are not honoured, protesters would be compelled to return to the streets.
