जेल से रिहा होते ही CJP ने कर दिया ऐलान! । Article 19 India

Summary

CJP leaders Saurabh Das and Ashutosh Ranka were released from Tihar Jail after about seven to eight days in custody. Their release followed written assurances that they would maintain peace and would not organise or call for protests at Jantar Mantar while it remains an undesignated protest site.

A Special Executive Magistrate rejected Delhi Police’s request to keep them in custody for three more days, finding their assurances sufficient for preventive purposes.

After their release, Das and Ranka again called for Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar to resign. CJP founder Abhijit Dipke had earlier urged that the movement be paused until Diwali, saying its next strategy would be decided after the two leaders’ release. The report asks whether their renewed message signals plans for further protests.

Police Action and the Right to Protest

The video questions whether the police action infringed the right to protest. It says the leaders were detained at the airport on October 10 over allegations that they had used social media to call people to an unauthorised demonstration at Jantar Mantar.

The report also recalls police action against protesters and journalists and argues that authorities are targeting government critics. These are criticisms and allegations made by the programme.

High Court Proceedings

The report recounts comments made during the leaders’ Delhi High Court proceedings. Justice Subramonium Prasad questioned whether the organisers had breached a bond, cautioned them to step back, and raised concerns that the organisation’s purpose had changed and that protests could escalate.

The court also discussed the distinction between preventive custody and preventive detention, as well as the different scope of an appeal and a writ petition. Das and Ranka later withdrew their High Court petition challenging their custody.

What Comes Next

The video notes that breaching the written assurances or calling another gathering could lead to further arrest. It closes by asking whether CJP will resume its campaign and what the leaders’ release means for the right to protest.
