CJP stated in its remarks that no protester will be left alone by the outfit.
The assurances were given by governmental representatives following a press conference jointly hosted by CJP and senior advocate Kapil Sibal in which the outfit warned that it would resume its agitation if the government did not provide written assurances, guaranteeing no fresh FIRs and withdrawal of criminal cases against protesters and organisers by Tuesday.
The CJP had called off its student protest on July 25 after the union government had accepted all of its major demands, including the resignation of Dharmendra Pradhan from the post of Education Minister.
