Das welcomed discussions on strengthening laws against examination malpractices but insisted that Parliament must also address the alleged police actions during the July 20 protest. “I hope Parliament also discusses the police brutality that took place July 20, how heads were broken, how people were blinded through pellet guns. “There was a clear assurance July 25 that the FIRs would be withdrawn and that no fresh FIRs would be registered in future. Das reiterated the CJP’s demand for withdrawal of FIRs, protection against future punitive action and implementation of the assurances “in both letter and spirit”. “If the harassment of students at the hands of the police continues, the Cockroach Janta Party will respond with a massive peaceful protest soon.
