The centre on Saturday outlined the assurances given to the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) after the third round of talks, paving the way for the end of the 49-day-long protest over the alleged NEET-UG 2026 paper leak.
Addressing the media, Union Minister JP Nadda said the CJP delegation submitted a written draft containing four points related to the ongoing agitation, while two additional demands were also discussed during the meeting.
“We had a long conversation today. They brought a written draft in which they made four points about the ongoing cases in agitation. Along with that, we discussed the other two demands: no retaliatory measures should be taken, compensation should be provided, and their five-point charter should be considered,” Nadda
said.
According to Nadda, the Centre agreed to:
- Consider the CJP’s five-point charter.
- Ensure no retaliatory action is taken against protesters.
- Provide copies of the FIRs related to the agitation.
- Extend compensation in accordance with government rules and regulations.
- Examine the protesters’ demands with a sympathetic approach.
“We will provide them with copy of the FIRs, and no action will be taken. The second thing that has been said is that regarding compensation, the government has clearly stated that we also sympathize. We all have said that there will be compensation according to the rules and regulations, whatever maximum will be possible will be given to them,” he added.

CJP Calls Off Strike
Following the assurances, the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) announced the immediate withdrawal of its nationwide agitation and appealed to protesters to return home peacefully, bringing one of the country’s largest student-led movements in recent years to a close.
The protest began on June 6, when the CJP launched a nationwide campaign demanding accountability for the alleged paper leak, sweeping reforms in the examination system and the resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan. The agitation later gained momentum after climate activist Sonam Wangchuk joined the protest and began a hunger strike in solidarity with the students.
Students from across the country gradually converged at Delhi’s Jantar Mantar, which became the epicentre of the movement. Over the following weeks, thousands of aspirants, parents and supporters joined marches, sit-ins and demonstrations, while climate activist Sonam Wangchuk also joined the protest through a prolonged hunger strike in solidarity with students.
On Saturday Dharmendra Pradhan resigned as Union Education Minister, acknowledging irregularities in the NEET-UG examination while stating that he had never shied away from responsibility. His resignation fulfilled one of the CJP’s principal demands.
Announcing the end of the movement, the CJP appealed to all protesters to return home peacefully, declaring that all of its demands had been accepted. Sonam Wangchuk also congratulated the country’s youth, saying, “Truth has prevailed today,” and called for lasting reforms in India’s education system.
