Union Minister Jitendra Singh came to convince Rahul

Union Minister Jitendra Singh arrived to convince Rahul Gandhi to end the strike. Union Home Secretary Govind Mohan was also with him. He appealed to Rahul Gandhi to end the protest outside the Prime Minister’s residence. Jitendra Singh returned after meeting for about 30 minutes, but the talks between the two sides could not reach any result.

Government ready for discussion on NEET in the House

Union Minister Jitendra Singh said that Rahul Gandhi had demanded that if the government agrees to discuss all the issues related to NEET and its related movement in the Parliament, then he will immediately end his protest. Within moments of getting permission from the top leadership of the government, Rahul Gandhi was assured that his demand has been accepted and the government is ready to discuss all issues related to NEET and the movement related to it in Parliament.

Dharmendra Rahul Gandhi adamant on Pradhan’s resignation

Union Minister Jitendra Singh accused Rahul Gandhi of reneging on his promise. He said, ‘When this information was given to Rahul Gandhi, he said that he would not only agree to this, but would also seek assurance of the resignation of the Union Education Minister. When he was reminded that earlier he had only demanded discussion, he said that now my demands have changed. It is unfortunate for a senior leader like Rahul Gandhi to go back on his promise and against every rule of democracy.
