CJP-Congress Unity Test: Are Gen Z Flash Protests Justified? Panelists Debate Arrests, Tihar Jail

A debate unfolds over the flash youth protests in Delhi following the denotification of Jantar Mantar as a designated protest venue. Meher Pasricha, national spokesperson of the Cockroach Janata Party, defends the demonstration of national symbols in public spaces, criticising the administration's actions as an arbitrary suppression of dissent: 'It's just a systematic dismantling of protest and dissent in itself.' Varun Chaudhary, AICC co-in charge and former national president of the NSUI, condemns the detention of student activists and asserts that the right to peaceful assembly is protected under the Constitution. Meanwhile, Shravan B Raj, National Secretary of the ABVP, counters that multi-outfit street mobilisations are causing public disruption and anarchy, urging student groups not to derail youth or target democratic institutions. The panel examines the legal implications under the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, the role of opposition political figures, and the accountability of the Election Commission.
