Govt-CJP Talks Hopeful After Midnight Meet
The government of India is having talks with students who are protesting.
The students want the Education Minister to resign because they think there was cheating in a big exam called NEET.
They also want the government to stop using too much force against them and to release people who were arrested during the protests.
One of the protest leaders, Sonam Wangchuk, is very sick because he is not eating and is in the hospital.
The government is hoping that these talks will help solve the problem.
