The CJP has also announced a protest in Mumbai on October 2 over the issue.
The opposition INDIA bloc, which announced its protest plans on Wednesday, will hold “Save Democracy” marches in all districts from October 2 to 8.
The group, which includes AISA president Neha Bora, advocate Prashant Bhushan and RJD MP Manoj Jha, said the protest would be held at 11am on October 2, news agency PTI reported.
Bora, who had been on a hunger strike at Jantar Mantar during the agitation led by Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) over the NEET paper leak issue, said the organisers had informed Parliament Street police about the proposed gathering, including details of the expected turnout, timing and those responsible for organising the event. A second AISA member said they had not received any “rejection” from the police yet. Jha said the issue should not be viewed merely as a contest between the ruling party and the Opposition but as one concerning citizens’ rights.
“This is not an issue of ruling versus opposition; it is a matter concerning the rights of the common people; rights that were summarily rejected,” Jha said.
