Pradhan to stay amid NEET paper leak protests
There is a big problem with the NEET exam papers leaking, which caused some students to commit suicide.
A group called the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) is protesting and wants the Education Minister, Dharmendra Pradhan, to resign.
They also want money for the families of the students who died.
The government says Pradhan is not to blame and is willing to talk about the issue and maybe give some money to the families.
The CJP wants to meet the government but only at a neutral place.
The government is also ready to discuss the issue in Parliament.
Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan is likely to remain in the Cabinet despite demands for his resignation over the NEET paper leak.
The government is open to discussing the issue with the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) and is willing to consider compensation for the families of suicide victims.
The CJP demands Pradhan's immediate resignation and Rs 1 crore compensation for the families of suicide victims.
The government is prepared for a detailed discussion on the NEET paper leak issue in Parliament.
Union Minister JP Nadda will respond to a letter written by activist Sonam Wangchuk, who is on an indefinite fast over the NEET paper leak issue.
