CJP to launch website to identify cops involved in July 20 crackdown on protesters
The Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) on Friday said it will launch a dedicated website to collect photographs and videos from protesters to identify police personnel
The Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) on Friday said it will launch a dedicated website to collect photographs and videos from protesters to identify police personnel allegedly involved in the July 20 crackdown during the 'Sansad Chalo' march. The party said it would seek FIRs against the officers and move court if the Delhi Police did not act. At a press conference, CJP spokesperson Saurav Das alleged that police personnel assaulted students and molested women protesters during the action. In a parallel move, Trinamool Congress Rajya Sabha MP Saket Gokhale also asked students and protesters to send photographs, videos and other evidence from the July 20 police action for scrutiny and legal action.

We will not remain quiet. We will remember everything," Das said. He appealed to protesters to upload photographs and videos of police personnel allegedly involved in the crackdown. "We are launching a website and urge all protesters to upload any videos or photographs they have of the police officials who attacked them. The CJP team will scrutinise the material and identify every police officer. There should be FIRs against them," he said. Das added that if the Delhi Police did not register FIRs against the identified officers, the party would approach the courts. "Lawyers from across India are helping us. We will obtain court orders directing that FIRs be registered against the police personnel.
When the time comes, we will ensure that all of them go to jail. This is our promise," he said. Gokhale said the material sent to him would also be examined to identify police personnel allegedly involved in the crackdown and help take legal action against them. Das and fellow CJP spokesperson Ashutosh Ranka also met Union ministers J P Nadda and Jitendra Singh at Vithalbhai Patel House here on Friday. During the two-hour meeting, the CJP representatives said their demand for Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan's resignation was non-negotiable and sought a public apology to the protesting students who were "brutally thrashed" on July 20. The outfit also demanded Rs 1 crore compensation for the families of those who committed suicide after the cancellation of the NEET test on May 3.
The two sides will meet again on Saturday. The July 20 'Sansad Chalo' march, organised by the CJP over alleged irregularities in competitive examinations, was stopped by the Delhi Police using tear gas and baton charges. Allegations over the use of pellet guns during the crackdown have since become a major political issue. The Delhi Police, however, has denied using pellet guns and said force was used only after protesters tried to breach security arrangements. Ends
