New Delhi:The government has asked protesters under the banner of the satirical political group Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) to end their sit-in at central Delhi, following a meeting between Union minister JP Nadda and CJP members Saurav Das and Ashutosh Ranka.

In a post on X, Nadda said "the meeting took place in a cordial atmosphere" after the protesters requested for talks this morning. The CJP has been demanding the resignation of Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan over the NEET-UG paper leak.

"This morning, for the first time, a proposal came from the protesters to hold talks with the government, and our discussions have been ongoing since 11. 50 am. The meeting took place in a cordial atmosphere. An initial verbal discussion was held in detail with their delegation, and they submitted a written petition to me around 4 pm," Nadda said.

"I have requested all the protesters to end their sit-in and assist the administration in restoring normalcy," he said.

The Delhi Police asked protesters to maintain peace, exercise restraint and cooperate in ensuring peace and public order. It asked people to guard against "rumours, misinformation or unverified content through any platform."
