“The government is positive on not registering cases against those protesting peacefully at Jantar Mantar in Delhi, and those participating in the march to the Parliament on July 20, 2026.

Besides, the government is also positively considering suitable compensation for the suicide victims of recent NEET paper leaks." said Union Minister JP Nadda.

The protest started after the NEET UG 2026, held on May 3, 2026 paper was alleged leaked and a re-exam was held on June 21, 2026.

The Cockroach Janta Party, today, replied to PM Modi's tweet, sharing their demands. 

"Dharmendra Pradhan Ji should resign.

Those who beat students in the wrong way should be punished.

The families of students who committed suicide should receive compensation.

The culprits of the paper leak should receive severe punishment."

“The Narendra Modi government has responded to the students’ courage with cowardice and wanton cruelty, treating them not as inheritors of the future but as enemies of the nation. The Modi government has not just degraded India’s education landscape but has also made a habit of acting with utter impunity, supreme self-delusion, and abject insensitivity. If is our moral, political and constitutional duty to stand with students and safeguard their future.” Rahul Gandhi wrote on X today, July 24, 2026.

Sonam Wangchuk ended his hunger-strike after 26 days after he received assurances from the government regarding his demands of compensation to families of suicide victims and no case against peaceful protestors. 

The cabineet meeting on strict actions against neet paper leak will be held at 12:30 pm today, July 24, 2026.
