Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) on Saturday called for a nationwide silent candle march on July 26, urging supporters to assemble outside district collector offices across the country to protest what it described as police brutality against students and demonstrators.
The call comes as Centre and CJP are scheduled to hold another round of talks later on Saturday over the outfit's demands arising from the ongoing NEET-UG protest movement.
While the government has indicated an "in-principle" acceptance of compensation for families of students allegedly driven to suicide and withdrawal of FIRs against peaceful protesters, CJP's demand for Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan's resignation remains unresolved.
