New Delhi, July 24: Representatives of the Cockroach Janata Party (CJP) on Friday held talks with Union Ministers J.P. Nadda and Jitendra Singh over the alleged NEET UG paper leak, with both sides agreeing to meet again on Saturday after discussions on the group’s demands.
The meeting, which lasted around 90 minutes, focused on issues related to the examination system and the demands raised by the protesting students.
During the meeting, CJP representatives submitted a written memorandum seeking:
- The resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan over the alleged NEET paper leak.
- Compensation of ₹1 crore to the families of students who allegedly died by suicide in connection with the controversy.
- Withdrawal of FIRs registered against students who participated in protests.
According to the CJP delegation, the Union ministers sought one day’s time to consider the demands, following which both sides agreed to hold another round of talks on Saturday.
Speaking to the media after the meeting, CJP spokesperson Saurabh Das said the organisation had presented its three principal demands to the Centre.
He claimed the government had responded positively to two of the demands and had agreed in principle to withdraw cases registered against protesting students.
Das said the Centre had sought additional time to respond to the demand seeking the resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan, and a final decision was expected during the next round of talks.
