The Cockroach Janta Party warned it will launch fresh nationwide protests if the government fails to withdraw FIRs against student demonstrators from the recent 37 day NEET paper leak agitation in Delhi. CJP founder Abhijeet Dipke said police must stop targeting and witch hunting students, warning of a massive peaceful protest if the alleged harassment continues.
