New Delhi [भारत]July 24 (ANI): Union Minister JP Nadda, after meeting representatives of the CJP in the national capital on Friday, said the government will hold another meeting with CJP representatives tomorrow after internally discussing the issues raised in Friday’s meeting.
The minister said that CJP has put forward three main demands and five suggestions for examination reforms. After the meeting with CJP representatives, Nadda told reporters, “The meeting lasted for about two hours. They had three main demands and five reform suggestions for the examinations. We have told them that we will meet them again tomorrow afternoon and tell them about the discussion between the government.”
Government asked for time on CJP’s demands
This is Nadda’s second meeting with Cockroach Janata Party (CJP) chief spokesperson Saurav Das and national spokesperson Ashutosh Ranka in New Delhi. Union Minister Jitendra Singh was also present during today’s meeting.
After today’s conversation, CJP national spokesperson Ashutosh Ranka said, “On our demand of Dharmendra Pradhan’s resignation, the government has sought time till tomorrow afternoon. We are hopeful that the government will remove him soon. The government has given in-principle approval to two demands of compensation (for families of NEET candidates who committed suicide) and withdrawal of FIRs and legal cases registered against students.”
CJP adamant on Dharmendra Pradhan’s resignation
CJP emphasized that its main demand is the resignation of Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan. The CJP, represented by activists Saurav Das and Ashutosh Ranka, agreed to talks after the government reportedly accepted two of their conditions: that no legal action would be taken against peaceful protesters and that adequate compensation would be provided to the families of students affected by the recent exam irregularities.
However, the CJP is sticking to its key demand, the resignation of Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan.
