Union minister Jagat Prakash Nadda welcomed the Cockroach Janta Party’s decision to call off their proposed march on September 5 in the heart of Lutyens’ Delhi. He emphasized that the success and progress of the nation’s youth is the biggest priority of the BJP-led NDA government.

Context

Nadda, along with his Cabinet colleague Jitendra Singh, had multiple meetings with CJP representatives during the peak of protests at Jantar Mantar last month, where the CJP had raised various demands. His statement followed the Centre’s submission to the Supreme Court, indicating that the government would not pursue criminal cases lodged against students over the July 20 protests, which had resulted in clashes between protesters and security personnel.
