The government has finally responded to the protest—but without any promises

After weeks of growing pressure over the ongoing hunger strike, the government's response took the form of two meetings held on the same day.

On Monday, CJP spokespersons Saurav Das and Ashutosh Ranka met BJP President JP Nadda at around 11:50 AM, where they verbally presented their demands. They were reportedly asked to submit them in writing and returned later that afternoon, around 4 PM, with a formal memorandum.

The memorandum outlined three key demands:

• Immediate release of Sonam Wangchuk without any restrictions on his movement.

• Resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan over the handling of the NEET paper leak controversy.

• ₹1 crore compensation for the families of NEET aspirants who allegedly died by suicide following the paper leak.

According to those present, JP Nadda did not make any immediate commitments or announce any decision during either meeting.

For now, the discussions have opened a channel of communication, but the protesters say they are waiting for concrete action—not just conversations.

As the hunger strike continues, attention is now shifting from the protest itself to whether these demands receive an official response in the coming days.
