The government and the Cockroach Janta Party are expected to hold a second round of talks around noon today, sources said, as protests over the NEET-UG 2026 paper leak continues, according to sources. The proposed meeting follows an initial round of discussions on July 20, the day of the CJP's "Sansad Chalo" march. A CJP delegation met Union Health Minister JP Nadda and submitted a memorandum outlining its three principal demands.
According to sources, the CJP sought the unconditional release of activist Sonam Wangchuk without restrictions on his movement, the resignation or dismissal of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan, and Rs 1 crore in compensation for the families of students who allegedly died by suicide following the NEET paper leak. Sources said the government did not offer any assurances on the protesters' demands.
