'Govt sought time till tomorrow on Dharmendra Pradhan's resignation demand': CJP after second meeting

Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) met union ministers JP Nadda and Jitendra Singh in the second high-level meeting over student protests.

The government sought time until tomorrow to respond to the demand for Dharmendra Pradhan's resignation over the NEET-UG paper leak.

The government agreed in-principle to two CJP demands: compensation for families of NEET aspirants who died by suicide, and no legal action against student protesters.

CJP warned that delay in Pradhan's removal would escalate the protest.

Climate activist Sonam Wangchuk ended his 26-day hunger strike after receiving written assurances from the government on compensation and no cases against peaceful protesters.
