Corroboration: 2 independent outlets

The Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) has called a peaceful protest march in Delhi on September 5, accusing the Centre of failing to honour commitments made on July 25 that ended its 36-day agitation over alleged NEET irregularities. The march will start at India Gate and proceed to the Delhi Police headquarters, led by families of NEET aspirants who died by suicide and victims of police action on July 20. The CJP said its National Working Committee expressed serious doubts about the government's intent after a month of inaction, including in the Supreme Court on August 18 where the government did not give a clear commitment to quash FIRs against protesters. The outfit claimed a written assurance from the Centre is still pending, and accused the government of delaying action and hiding behind technicalities. The CJP has appealed to students and youth organisations to join the march peacefully. The protest comes a month after the CJP withdrew its nationwide agitation in good faith following talks with the Centre.

## Indian Opinion Analysis

Both livemint.com and thefederal.com reported the CJP's announcement neutrally, attributing the protest to the Centre's alleged failure to implement July 25 commitments on FIR withdrawal and NEET compensation. Neither source carried a government response or defence. The coverage reflects the CJP's narrative of betrayal without independent verification of progress or counter-statements. Readers should watch for the government's reply, if any, and the September 5 march outcome.
