All FIRs lodged against those who took part in the Cockroach Janta Party-led protests in Delhi in July will be withdrawn, and no stringent action will be taken against any of them, Union Health Minister J P Nadda said on Tuesday.

New Delhi | All FIRs lodged against those who took part in the Cockroach Janta Party-led protests in Delhi in July will be withdrawn, and no stringent action will be taken against any of them, Union Health Minister J P Nadda said on Tuesday.

Nadda's remarks came shortly after the Supreme Court quashed all the FIRs registered against students who participated in the CJP-led protests from July 20-25 across the country, prompting the outfit to call off its September 5 march in the national capital.

Welcoming the CJP decision to call off the march, Nadda said the Centre has consulted all the BJP-ruled states, which have assured to withdraw all FIRs lodged against CJP protesters in their jurisdictions.

“We welcome the CJP's decision to call off the September 5 protest in Delhi,” Nadda told reporters here.

The Union minister also said that the welfare and progress of the country's youth remained the government’s utmost priority.
