Centre unlikely to sack Pradhan over NEET row, open to compensate for victims' kin: Report
The Centre is unlikely to sack Union education minister Dharmendra Pradhan over the NEET paper leak, as it believes he is not responsible.
The government is open to compensating families of students who died by suicide following the alleged paper leak.
The Centre is willing to engage in talks with protesters led by the Cockroach Janata Party (CJP), but wants flexibility on the venue.
Union health minister JP Nadda reiterated that Parliament is the appropriate forum to discuss the NEET issue and urged Opposition cooperation.
Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi has demanded Pradhan's resignation, calling it a non-negotiable demand of the protesters.
