Kapil Sibal pledges ₹1cr legal aid for NEET protesters
Kapil Sibal, senior advocate and Rajya Sabha MP, has pledged ₹1 crore to help students facing police action after the NEET protests.
He announced plans to set up a legal aid network, document police actions, and connect affected students with volunteer lawyers.
Sibal called on lawyers and citizens nationwide to join in, saying, "Wherever the law is misused and false cases are filed against peaceful protesters, we will stand with them. Our lawyers will support them across India."
CJP pauses protests after FIR assurances
The Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) paused protests after Union ministers promised to withdraw FIRs against demonstrators, including those from the July 20 Parliament march.
But detentions are still happening in Assam and Bihar, sparking criticism.
CJP warned they'll resume protests if written promises aren't shared or detainees aren't released by July 28, sticking firmly to demands for protester protection.
