CJP to meet Union ministers at Constitution Club at 12:30pm
What's the story
The Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) will meet Union ministers at the Constitution Club of India in New Delhi on Friday. The meeting is scheduled for 12:30pm and comes after the Centre agreed to hold discussions at a neutral venue, one of the key demands of the CJP during its protests over the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET) controversy. Concurrently, the CJP has called a nationwide protest on Friday under the slogan "Every district. One day. One demand."
Protest demands
CJP's demands include Pradhan's resignation, compensation for families
CJP chief spokesperson Saurav Das confirmed the meeting and expressed hope for an open-minded dialogue.
"Our protest will continue; Constitution Club of India chosen as venue for meeting with government ministers, hoping for an open-minded dialogue," Das told reporters on Thursday.
The CJP has been demanding the resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan, compensation for families affected by NEET-related suicides, and withdrawal of FIRs against innocent protesters.
