The anti-NEET movement has reached a critical turning point.
After being shifted to a private hospital, Sonam Wangchuk released his first video update and indicated that he may soon end his hunger strike. But his latest letter to the Centre has also sparked debate, with several of the movement's key demands appearing to be softened.
The earlier demand for Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan's resignation has now been reframed as a call for the government to consider his resignation. Similarly, the demand for ₹1 crore compensation for every family that lost a child following the alleged NEET paper leak has been revised to seek adequate compensation.
Can the deadlock over the anti-NEET protests finally be broken?
The Centre has said it is ready for a discussion on the NEET paper leak in both Houses of Parliament. However, key questions remain over the format of the debate and whether it will be enough to end the ongoing agitation.
After Union Ministers J.P. Nadda and Jitendra Singh met him in hospital, Sonam Wangchuk laid out four key conditions for ending his fast. These include compensation for the families of students who died by suicide following the alleged NEET paper leak, assurance that no punitive action will be taken against protesters, and a meaningful parliamentary debate that includes consideration of the Education Minister's accountability.
Meanwhile, Leader of the Opposition Rahul Gandhi has adopted a tougher position, insisting that Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan's resignation should be the starting point of any dialogue. He has also demanded action against those responsible for alleged police excesses and an apology from Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
With both sides setting out their positions, the central question remains: What will break the impasse—and what will it take to bring both sides to the negotiating table?
Fresh clashes erupted between protesters and security personnel at Jantar Mantar. Police fired tear gas and used batons to disperse the agitated crowd. At least six police personnel, including two ACPs, sustained injuries during the unrest. Authorities activated internet jammers in parts of central Delhi amid heightened security. The situation remained tense as the crowd at Jantar Mantar swelled significantly.
