The Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) has warned that it could resume its nationwide agitation if the Union Government fails to honour what it describes as a key assurance given during recent negotiations over the student protest movement. The party has demanded a written commitment confirming the withdrawal of criminal cases against protesters and organisers, saying it would wait until Tuesday before deciding its next course of action.
The warning comes just days after the CJP suspended its 37-day protest at Delhi’s Jantar Mantar following the resignation of former Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan, a development the organisation had described as the first major success of its nationwide campaign over the NEET-UG 2026 paper leak controversy.
Despite calling off the sit-in, the CJP maintains that several commitments made during discussions with the Centre remain unfulfilled. Party leaders have alleged that police action against students and volunteers has continued in several states, contrary to the understanding reached during negotiations.
CJP spokesperson Ashutosh Ranka accused the authorities of violating the agreement by allegedly detaining students and volunteers associated with the protest movement. He claimed that reports had emerged of arrests in Bihar and West Bengal, while volunteers providing logistical support to protesters in Delhi and other states were allegedly facing surveillance and harassment.
According to the CJP, the government had assured the organisation that no further punitive action would be initiated against participants in the protests. The party now insists that this assurance must be formalised through an official written communication.
The organisation has demanded the immediate withdrawal of all First Information Reports (FIRs) registered against protesters, the release of detained students and a commitment that no fresh criminal cases will be filed by Delhi Police, central investigative agencies or police forces in states governed by BJP or its allies.
Party leaders said the movement had paused its agitation in “good faith” after the government’s outreach and the resignation of the Education Minister. However, they argued that continued police action would undermine confidence in the dialogue process and leave them with no option but to return to the streets.
The latest warning suggests that while one chapter of the NEET-UG protest movement has ended with the minister’s resignation, tensions between the CJP and the Centre remain unresolved. The organisation has made it clear that the withdrawal of legal cases is now central to any lasting settlement.
The Union Government has not yet issued a public response to the CJP’s latest allegations or its demand for a written assurance. The coming days are expected to determine whether negotiations continue or whether the student-led agitation enters a new phase of confrontation.
The controversy surrounding the NEET-UG 2026 paper leak has triggered one of the country’s most significant student movements in recent years, prompting investigations, administrative changes and political debate over the integrity of India’s competitive examination system. While the resignation of the Education Minister marked a major political development, the dispute over legal action against protesters now threatens to prolong the confrontation between the government and the movement’s organisers.
