Union Health Minister J P Nadda has emerged as the Centre's key interlocutor in resolving the nearly four-week-long CJP-led agitation over the alleged NEET paper leak. Leading the government's negotiations with protesters, Nadda held multiple rounds of talks with activist Sonam Wangchuk before being present at Medanta Hospital when the activist ended his indefinite hunger strike. His role in brokering dialogue between the Centre and the protesters culminated in the government's assurance that students participating in peaceful demonstrations would not face punitive or retaliatory legal action, paving the way for Wangchuk to call off his fast even as discussions on the protesters' broader demands continue.
