NEW DELHI: AAP Delhi chief Saurabh Bharadwaj on Friday offered protection to students who participated in the Cockroach Janata Party (CJP)-led protest at Jantar Mantar, saying the party would stand by those facing threats. In a post on X addressed to "Delhi GenZ", Bharadwaj said: "If any student (who peacefully participated at Jantar Mantar protest) is facing threats from Right Wing goons in Delhi, don't be scared, invite them home and let us know. We will take care." AAP national convener Arvind Kejriwal shared Bharadwaj's "major announcement" and wrote, "We will all come together to set these thugs straight." The remarks came a day after the Delhi government's Home Department said no further legal adverse action would be taken against people who participated in the protest.

The government order said the review and release of those already arrested or detained would be carried out expeditiously. However, it also said action would continue against individuals with a criminal background who took part in the protests.
