The Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) on Monday (August 24) announced a nationwide call for a 'peaceful' protest march in New Delhi on 5 September 2026, accusing the Central government of 'failing to honour the commitments' made on 25 July, following which nationwide youth protests were withdrawn.
The announcement about the protest was made after the outfit's national working committee met on Monday at 2 pm to review what it described as the Centre's failure to fulfil commitments made to the country's youth.
Protest march from India Gate to New Delhi Police HQ
After a meeting of its national working committee, the CJP in a statement said the peaceful march on September 5 will begin at India Gate and proceed towards the New Delhi Police Headquarters and will be led by the families of deceased NEET victims and victims of police brutality that allegedly took place during the 'Sansad Chlao' march on July 20.
"We announce a peaceful protest march from India Gate to the new Delhi Police Headquarters on 5 September, led by the families of the deceased NEET victims and victims of police brutality, and joined by students and young citizens from across the country," the CJP said in a statement.
The outfit alleged that it had been forced to return to the streets because the government appeared determined to commit (betrayal) against Gen Z. "We have been forced to return to the streets because the Government appears determined to commit a 'vishwasghaat' with Gen-Z, the young generation of this country, and the families who have already lost their children," it said.
'Govt playing games': CJP
The CJP accused the government of playing games, hiding behind technicalities and avoiding giving clear commitments, instead of implementing what was promised. "Members of the Committee expressed serious doubts over whether the Government intends to honour its word at all. For a month now, instead of implementing what was solemnly promised, the Government has played delay games, hidden behind technicalities, and avoided giving clear commitments even before the Supreme Court of India," it said.
It further alleged that the government had refused to commit to complying with the Supreme Court's directive to provide a list of FIRs registered across the country, which would enable the court to consider quashing them collectively in a single proceeding.
"On 18 August, the Supreme Court repeatedly asked the Union Government to provide a list of FIRs registered across the country so that the Court could consider quashing them together, at one go, making the commitment easiest to fulfil. Yet, the Government refused to give a clear commitment to do so. The written assurance from the Government to the CJP is also due," the CJP said.
"This cannot continue. Our patience cannot be mistaken for weakness, and our good faith cannot be used as an opportunity for the government to betray us," it added.
