New Delhi: the Constitution Club of India—the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) reiterated its firm stance that Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan's resignation is non-negotiable. Here are the key details leading into the meeting between the student leaders and Union Ministers.

CJP founder Abhijeet Dipke and spokespersons Ashutosh Ranka and Saurav Das asserted that despite recent government assurances—and activist Sonam Wangchuk ending his 26-day hunger strike—the sit-in at Jantar Mantar will continue indefinitely until Pradhan steps down. Response to PM's Announcement: Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced fast-track courts to deal strictly with examination paper leaks.

However, CJP representatives labeled the proposed fast-track courts as insufficient, stating that the "strictest action" would be the immediate removal of the Education Minister. The meeting was moved to the Constitution Club of India following a specific request from CJP for a neutral venue, which the Centre accepted.

Overhaul of the national examination system. Financial compensation for the families of students affected by the NEET controversy. Complete withdrawal of all police FIRs lodged against peaceful student protesters. The delegation emphasized that while they remain open to open-minded dialogue, they will not compromise on their primary objective.
