Minister of State in PMO Jitendra Singh, along with Union Home Secretary Govind Mohan, met Gandhi and urged him to end his sit-in, but Gandhi refused. Singh said he had told Gandhi that they were ready to discuss all issues relating to the NEET exam and the movement associated with it in Parliament, as sought by him, but the Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha "backtracked" and demanded that Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan must also resign. The opposition leaders were later forcibly removed from the site and detained by the police. (With inputs from PTI)
