Jul 25, 2026 08:31 AM IST No purpose of meeting government if Pradhan is not sacked: CJP's Ashutosh Ranka CJP spokesperson Ashutosh Ranka on Saturday said he has received a positive response from the government regarding compensation to kin of suicide victims and revoking criminal cases against protestors.
He said there has been no concrete decision from the government on Dharmendra Pradhan's resignation.
"In yesterday's meeting, we received a positive response regarding compensation and legal cases.
We got an in-principle agreement, and we hope to receive the written agreement today as well.
However, there has been no concrete decision on our main demand... the resignation of Dharmendra Pradhan," Ranka told ANI.
Citing reports claiming that Dharmendra Pradhan is not set to resign, he said the meeting with government delegation serves no purpose if the minister is not sacked.
"In fact, what we saw in the mainstream media yesterday, citing sources, was that Dharmendra Pradhan will not resign.
If he is not going to resign, then these meetings serve no purpose.
In that case, we will move ahead with whatever strategy we decide next.
If the government remains adamant, despite the entire country demanding only Dharmendra Pradhan's resignation, and says that he will not resign, then let it be made clear.
But if the government continues with this approach, we too will be compelled to take tougher decisions," he added.
