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?
