The hospital visit came a day after thousands of protesters, led by the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP), attempted to march towards Parliament demanding the resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan. The protest resulted in clashes with Delhi Police, injuries to both protesters and police personnel, and widespread disruption across central Delhi. #WATCH | Delhi: Union Minister JP Nadda holds a meeting with doctors at RML hospital.

Speaking briefly after the meeting while arriving for the NDA Parliamentary Party meeting, ‘Mangal Milan’, Nadda told reporters, “It was fine, it is always fine." According to the CJP, the delegation raised three key demands before the Union Minister, the resignation of Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan, Rs 1 crore compensation for the families of NEET aspirants who allegedly died by suicide, and the immediate release of activist Sonam Wangchuk, who is currently hospitalised. The group said the protest would continue until their demands were met. In a post on X, Ashutosh Ranka said the delegation had conveyed its demand for Pradhan’s immediate resignation or removal. He added that Nadda assured them he would discuss the matter “at the appropriate level", though no commitment had been made. Nadda, in his own post on X, said the proposal for talks had come from the protesters and described the discussions as cordial. He added that after detailed verbal discussions, the delegation submitted a written memorandum around 4 pm.
