We want withdrawal of FIRs, not just closure: CJP's Saurav Das on Delhi govt decision

CJP's Saurav Das said the Delhi government's notification treats FIRs as closed, not withdrawn, which deviates from the July 25 Jantar Mantar agreement.

Das urged the government to formally withdraw the FIRs rather than merely closing them, warning that dilution of assurances could force students back to the streets.

The notification states no further action will be taken on FIRs related to the CJP's 36-day agitation, but Das called the wording insufficient.

Das argued the Supreme Court order does not bar withdrawal of FIRs, and the government has the power to withdraw them.

The Jantar Mantar agreement promised specific commitments to protesters, and Das insisted they must be honored in letter and spirit.
