Delhi Police denotifies Jantar Mantar as a designated protest site and announces three alternative sites for future protests, sparking criticism from Cockroach Janta party, Congress and other Opposition parties.

Cockroach Janata Party’s (CJP) proposed march, named ‘India Gate 1.0’, will be held from India Gate to Delhi Police Headquarters. CPI-ML’s students’ wing AISA extends its support to the march.

With the Narendra Modi government facing massive criticism for the alleged violence on student protesters at Jantar Mantar on July 20, the top court’s decision to form an inquiry committee has now helped the government buy time.

Chief Justice of India Surya Kant, whose proposed presence at NALSAR University of Law, Hyderabad, for the convocation was reportedly opposed by its graduating students, rebuked Bar Council of India (BCI) for issuing an unprecedented restraint order that could harm the students’ career.

Saurav Das, an independent investigative journalist who came to national limelight as CJP’s official spokesperson, said the BJP MP’s language was unbecoming and that her words did not seem to come from a person who is mentally stable.

With Delhi Police maintaining that more than 100 police personnel sustained injuries during the CJP-led protests on July 20, retired police officials have taken it upon themselves to raise the issue through a protest demonstration.
