Following talks with CJP representatives, the government has agreed in-principle to grant compensation to families of deceased NEET aspirants and withdraw cases against students, while seeking time till tomorrow afternoon regarding demands for Dharmendra Pradhan's resignation.
In a major development surrounding the ongoing NEET examination controversy, the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) announced that the Central Government has requested time until Saturday (July 25) afternoon to decide on the key demand for Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan's resignation. Addressing the press following high-level discussions with government representatives, CJP National Spokesperson Ashutosh Ranka stated that the political outfit remains steadfast in its push for systemic accountability. "The government has asked for time till tomorrow afternoon on our demand for Dharmendra Pradhan's resignation. We hope the government will remove him soon," Ranka noted.
While the decision on the Union Minister’s removal remains pending, the spokesperson revealed significant breakthroughs regarding other critical demands raised by student groups and protesters. Ranka confirmed that the Centre has expressed "in-principle approval" on two key concessions: financial compensation for the families of NEET aspirants who tragically lost their lives to suicide in the aftermath of the paper leak controversy, and the complete withdrawal of FIRs and legal cases registered against protesting students.
