India’s youth protesters have agreed to end their demonstration, a spokesperson of the ‘Cockroach Janata Party (CJP)’ movement told reporters after talks with the government on Saturday.
The announcement came hours after the education minister resigned following the weeks-long protests demanding he quit over exam leaks.
The Cockroach Janata Party (CJP) announced that it will withdraw its agitation at Delhi’s Jantar Mantar after holding the third round of talks with the Indian government, bringing an end to the 49-day protest over NEET-UG paper leak and irregularities in the education system.
A two-member CJP delegation met with Union Ministers JP Nadda and Jitendra Singh on Saturday, hours after the resignation of Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan.
Following the talks, the CJP announced that it was withdrawing the protest with immediate effect and appealed to all protests to go back home peacefully.
Addressing a press conference alongside Nadda, CJP’s spokesperson Saurav Das said the government had agreed to consider the demands of the movement, which included the resignation of Dharmendra Pradhan, withdrawal of all FIRs against student protesters and a compensation of INR 1 crore for the families of students who died by suicide following the paper leak.
