NEET Protests: A Brief Reprieve from the Law's Heavy Hand The withdrawal of Cockroach Janata Party (CJP) plans for a September 5 march in Delhi, called off after the Supreme Court quashed protest FIRs against students who participated in the NEET protests, marks a tenuous truce between law enforcement and those demanding accountability.
This development raises questions about the government's willingness to uphold its own assurances and the long term implications for student activism.
A close examination of recent events reveals that the Centre's commitment to honoring promises made to CJP leaders is more a reflection of the Supreme Court's intervention than any genuine shift in policy.
