The Cockroach Janta Party has withdrawn its agitation over examination reforms after the government accepted its core demands following a third round of talks in New Delhi. Union Ministers J P Nadda and Dr Jitendra Singh met the CJP delegation on Saturday, focusing on measures to reform the examination system and prevent paper leaks, an issue that had triggered weeks of protest at Jantar Mantar.
Addressing a joint press conference with the CJP delegation, Nadda said the government had agreed that no action would be taken against protesters and that no fresh FIRs would be registered against them. He added that FIRs already registered in connection with the protests would be withdrawn, with copies provided to those affected, a move aimed at assuring demonstrators that their participation in the agitation would not result in legal consequences.
On the sensitive issue of compensation for the families of those who died by suicide amid the paper leak controversy, Nadda said the government held full sympathy for the affected families and would ensure maximum compensation in line with applicable rules and regulations. The assurance came as one of the key demands raised by the CJP delegation during its negotiations with the government over the preceding weeks.
CJP Chief Spokesperson Saurav Das announced the withdrawal of the agitation in good faith, expressing confidence that the government would implement the agreed terms within the stipulated timelines. He appealed to protesters and supporters to return home peacefully, signalling an end to the prolonged standoff that had drawn national attention to concerns over examination integrity and paper leak prevention.
The resolution comes days after the government also moved to introduce the Public Examinations Amendment Bill in the Lok Sabha, proposing stricter punishment for those involved in paper leak cases, a parallel legislative step aimed at addressing the structural concerns that fuelled the protests. The developments together mark a significant de-escalation of a controversy that had placed pressure on the Union Education Ministry and prompted sustained student mobilisation in the national capital over recent weeks, with authorities now expected to focus on implementation of the agreed reforms.
