As protests by the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) intensified in the national capital, Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan has been in a meeting with Union Home Minister Amit Shah for over two hours.

Pradhan was seen in the Lok Sabha in the morning and, after the first adjournment of the House, went into a meeting with Shah at the Home Minister's Parliament House office.

Sources said discussions were underway on ways to address the ongoing protests.

Health Minister JP Nadda, who met CJP leaders Saurav Das and Ashutosh Ranka earlier in the day, is also learnt to have conveyed the demands of the movement to Shah.

Meanwhile, Sonam Wangchuk has made public a list of conditions for ending his fast. A section of leaders said Pradhan may be asked to meet Wangchuk at the hospital, though there is no official word on the matter yet.

All eyes are now on the meeting between Shah and Pradhan, which is still underway.

The CJP has been demanding the resignation of Pradhan over the alleged NEET-UG 2026 paper leak and seeking reforms in the examination system.
