The representatives of the Cockroach People's Party (CJP) have concluded their meeting with officials from the central government. During this session, CJP presented their demands in a five-paragraph memorandum. The government was represented by Union Ministers JP Nadda and Jitendra Singh, while the CJP delegation included Saurav Das and Ashutosh Ranka. Following the discussions, Ashutosh Ranka, the national spokesperson for CJP, stated that the government has requested until tomorrow afternoon to respond to their demand for the resignation of Dharmendra Pradhan. They expressed hope that the government would act swiftly in this matter. Additionally, the government has given preliminary approval for two demands regarding compensation and the withdrawal of FIRs and legal cases against students.
CJP's Firm Stance on Demands
Furthermore, the letter sent by CJP to the government emphasized that in recent days, they have engaged in detailed discussions with their supporters and members across the country, including those protesting at Jantar Mantar. They firmly believe that their demands—namely, the resignation of Dharmendra Pradhan, a re-examination for NEET candidates, and no legal action against protesters—are non-negotiable.
Public Apology Demanded from Government
The letter also stated that the Indian government, along with the head of the Rapid Action Force and the Delhi Police Commissioner, should publicly apologize to the students who were brutally assaulted by government forces. They insisted that all these demands should be met promptly; otherwise, the movement could escalate and spread nationwide. Additionally, they welcomed the government's response to their five-point charter on examination reforms, which aims to bring essential structural changes to the education system.
