The Cockroach Janata Party (CJP) has officially ended its 37-day protest at Jantar Mantar in New Delhi. This decision comes after India's Education Minister, Dharmendra Pradhan, resigned from his post, and the government gave positive assurances regarding the protesters' demands.
Speaking at a press conference at the Constitution Club, CJP’s Chief Spokesperson, Saurav Das, stated: "Cockroach Janta Party declares that we withdraw the agitation in good faith, with the understanding that the agreed-upon terms will be executed within the agreed-upon timelines."
Key Agreements Reached During Talks
The decision to end the protest followed a third round of successful discussions with Union Ministers J P Nadda and Jitendra Singh. During these talks, the government agreed to several key terms:
- Providing fair compensation to the families of NEET aspirants who tragically lost their lives to suicide.
- Withdrawing all police cases (FIRs) filed against protesters across India.
Next Steps
The CJP has shared a five-point list of demands with the government. Both sides are scheduled to meet again in four weeks to review the progress of these discussions and ensure all promises are met.
