Supporters of CJP leaders maintain that the pledge not to protest at Jantar Mantar was a lawful bail condition, not an admission of wrongdoing, and argue that detention itself raised unresolved questions under free-expression protections.
Supporters of CJP leaders counter that bail conditions restricting future protest are an impermissible prior restraint, since courts have held conditions cannot bar lawful speech absent a specific statutory basis.
Supporters of CJP leaders argue the protest pledge was a pragmatic trade—liberty now, leverage later—and that Delhi's insistence on it shows authorities fear Jantar Mantar's optics more than the demand itself.
Supporters of CJP leaders argue the pledge not to protest at Jantar Mantar was a tactical concession—trading one square for freedom—since the CEC resignation demand gains more from released leaders than jailed ones.

Supporters of CJP leaders counter that conditioning release on a no-protest pledge penalizes conscience, not conduct, effectively punishing people for convictions they have not yet acted on.
Supporters of CJP leaders frame the protest demand as a moral reckoning, arguing that scripture commands justice and righteousness in leadership, and that a CEC whose conduct is questioned must answer before the public conscience.
Supporters of CJP leaders argue their cause is a moral duty to confront injustice, invoking scripture's call to speak truth to power, and maintain that a pledge not to protest at Jantar Mantar does not silence that conscience.
Supporters of CJP leaders counter that scripture commands obedience to God above human ordinances, citing Acts 5:29, and argue that a civic order silencing peaceful witness for justice forfeits the moral reverence the authorities invoke.
