NEET paper leak: Centre’s decision on resignation demand remains pending as protests continue in Delhi. Representatives of the Cockroach Janata Party (CJP) met with Union Ministers to discuss the growing controversy. The meeting lasted about an hour and a half, focusing on the demand for Union Minister Dharmendra Pradhan’s resignation over the NEET paper leak. CJP also raised the issue of student suicides linked to the leak.
The NEET paper leak case has sparked widespread outrage. CJP leader Saurabh Das outlined three main demands to the ministers. They demanded compensation of Rs. 1 crore each for the families of students who died by suicide due to the leak. They also called for the withdrawal of FIRs against students who joined a Parliament rally. The NEET paper leak controversy has drawn sharp criticism from opposition parties and student groups.
Union Minister JP Nadda responded to the discussions, stating that Dharmendra Pradhan’s resignation will be reconsidered tomorrow. The Centre has shown a positive stance on dropping cases against students. Saurabh Das confirmed that the government responded favorably to two of the three demands. However, the deadline for a decision on Dharmendra Pradhan’s resignation has been extended to Saturday.
The government has accepted the CJP’s demands in writing and will meet again on Saturday afternoon. The excitement over the NEET paper leak decision continues. If the Centre accepts the resignation of Dharmendra Pradhan as the minister responsible for the leak, the controversy may finally end. This case has highlighted the urgent need for accountability in exam conduct.
