Government and CJP Hold Talks Amid NEET Paper Leak Protests, Pradhan Resignation Demand PersistsPreviousNext

The Cockroach Janata Party (CJP) and the Indian government have engaged in multiple rounds of talks over ongoing student protests sparked by the NEET paper leak controversy. The CJP insists on the resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan as a non-negotiable demand, while the government has expressed willingness to compensate families of affected students and withdraw FIRs against protesters. Despite these concessions, the deadlock over Pradhan's resignation continues, with further discussions planned amid heightened security and parliamentary disruptions.
