CJP presents 3 demands to JP Nadda: ‘₹1 crore compensation…’ — What does group want from government amid Delhi protests? | Today’s news
Cockroach Janata Party (CJP) spokesperson Ashutosh Ranka said on Monday that Union Health Minister JP Nadda has sought time to consult the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leadership on the organisation’s demands amid a protest against alleged irregularities in national competitive exams, including NEET-UG.
The Outfit’s chief spokesperson Saurav Das claimed that Nadda had assured them that there would be no further “raid” at Jantar Mantar.
In a post on X Ranka, she said the CJP has made three key demands: release of activist Sonam Wangchuk from hospital, resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan and compensation ₹1 million for the families of all NEET-UG 2026 aspirants who allegedly died by suicide.
“Update: I and @SauravDassss are still at Nadda ji’s residence. Nadda has asked her for some time to align with their management regarding our following demands:- Immediate release of @Wangchuk66, resignation of Dharmendra Pradhan, 1Cr compensation to all NEET aspirants who committed suicide,” he said.
Das that while the demands were communicated to him, no “commitments” were given, adding that the peaceful protest would continue until their demands were resolved.
He said on X: “@AshutoshRanka and I have been at JP Nadda’s residence since 12:00. Demands have been communicated, including Dharmendra Pradhan’s immediate resignation/fire. The minister has assured us that he will discuss it at the appropriate level. But no commitments have been made yet. Peaceful protesters will not rest until the demand is met!”
“The minister has also assured us that there will be no further crackdown in and around Jantar Mantar. However, there are no reports of police arrests yet,” Das added.
The Delhi Police on Monday debunked as false a viral social media post claiming that its personnel assaulted a woman identified as activist Sonam Wangchuk’s wife, Geetanjali Agmo, and injured 40 to 50 protesters, including a 12-year-old girl, during the ‘Chalo Sansad’ protest in the national capital. Police also urged the public not to spread misleading or unverified information.
The clarification followed a post on X by Das, who wrote: “Geetanjali snatched by Delhi Police and assaulted; 12-year-old girl’s head smashed; 40-50 other heads smashed”.
The post questioned the police’s handling of the protesters. In response to the allegations, the Delhi Police issued a fact-check on X stating that the claims made in the viral social media posts were incorrect and again appealed to the public not to share or spread unverified information.
“The claims circulating in the posts are not true. Please do not spread or distribute false or misleading information,” it said.
Thousands of protesters gathered in central Delhi on Monday and tried to march towards Parliament, where they were stopped by police who used tear gas and batons to disperse the crowd. The protests, initially sparked by allegations of investigative irregularities and paper leaks, gathered momentum following activist Sonam Wangchuk’s hunger strike.
