Has CJP party thrown protesters under the bus ?

TellDelhi

Delhi Police are waiting for official written orders from the Centre before dropping 15 FIRs against NEET paper leak protesters, despite the government's public agreement with the protest leaders. Here's the catch :

Dropping these FIRs won't stop the ongoing investigation into the overall conspiracy behind the July 20 clashes.

Now here are few questions :

  1. Why did Ashutosh Ranka and Saurav Das agree to end the protest without a written assurance in hand? This feels like a major, naive miscalculation by the CJP.

  2. CJP promised all FIRs against protesters would be dropped, yet Delhi Police have filed 15 FIRs. Delhi police is looking at larger conspiracy now. The government went back on its word as per CJP, government agreed to 'unconditional' complete withdrawal of FIRs but CJP leadership is surprisingly silent on this.

  3. Saurav Das and Ashutosh Ranka threatened legal action over police brutality, but they don't seem to have any immediate plan of action.

I feel like the CJP dealt us a raw deal. They completely miscalculated the government's moves. I dont care about Pradhan's resignation, to me life of every protester is worth more than any politician's resignation.
