The Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) has threatened to resume nationwide protests after the Supreme Court allowed investigations into FIRs filed during the anti-exam paper leak agitation to continue. While the court directed authorities not to take coercive action against eligible student protesters and ordered the preservation of CCTV footage and electronic evidence, it did not order the withdrawal of existing cases.

CJP leaders allege that the interim order contradicts assurances given by the central government during negotiations that led to the suspension of protests. Founder Abhijeet Dipke accused authorities of targeting students, while party spokesperson Saurav Das warned of fresh nationwide demonstrations if the government's commitments are not honored. Meanwhile, several states have begun withdrawing cases against eligible student protesters.

Argentina's Senate on Wednesday (June 12) approved a economic reform plan proposed by President Javier Milei in an overall vote.

The motion initially tied 36-36, with the head of the chamber, Vice President Victoria Villarruel, breaking the tie.

Earlier, the&nbsp;Buenos Aires&nbsp;riot police&nbsp;fired tear gas and water cannons to disperse protesters gathered outside Congress as the lawmakers inside were debating budget-cutting reforms.

The protesters - who say the measures will hurt millions of Argentines - threw petrol bombs and stones, setting a car on fire.

Several were reported injured, with local media describing the scene on Wednesday (June 12) as not less than a battlefield.

According to the observers, dozens of demonstrators and a handful of MPs received medical attention.&nbsp;

At least five opposition MPs in the crowd were hospitalised, legislator Cecilia Moreau told AFP news agency.

"We cannot believe that in Argentina we are discussing a law that will put us back 100 years," Fabio Nunez, a 55-year-old protesting lawyer, was quoted by AFP as saying.

Later, President Milei's office issued a statement thanking the security forces for suppressing what it called "terrorists" attempting to stage a coup d'état.

However, the debate on the bill in the Senate is set to continue late into Wednesday, with senators expected to take a vote on it.
