New Delhi: The Cockroach Janta Party has accepted government proposal to hold discussions at a neutral venue on Friday.
The meeting will take place at the Constitution Club of India, where the group is expected to raise its key demands, including the resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan.
CJP Spokesperson Sourav Das welcomed the government’s decision, saying the organisation was pleased that its request for a neutral meeting place had been accepted. He said the dialogue would focus on the concerns raised by students during the ongoing protest.
The CJP has been holding a sit-in at Jantar Mantar over the alleged NEET paper leak and wider irregularities in the examination system. The group has demanded major reforms in the education sector, greater accountability and the removal of Dharmendra Pradhan from the Union Cabinet.
Proceedings in both the Lok Sabha and the Rajya Sabha were adjourned till 12 noon on Friday amid continued protests by Opposition parties over the NEET paper leak issue.
A 21-year-old woman injured during the recent protest-related incident is showing clinical improvement and remains in stable condition, according to a health bulletin issued by Dr Ram Manohar Lohia (RML) Hospital on Friday.
The hospital said the patient, who was admitted in a critical condition, was successfully extubated nearly 48 hours ago and is now breathing on her own. She is conscious and responding appropriately to commands.
According to the bulletin, she continues to receive comprehensive critical care under the close supervision of a multidisciplinary medical team.
