Dimple Yadav Visits Sonam Wangchuk's Protest Amid Announcer's Name Mix-Up
Samajwadi Party MP Dimple Yadav visited activist Sonam Wangchuk at Delhi's Jantar Mantar, where he has been on a hunger strike for 20 days demanding Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan's resignation over exam irregularities. During her visit, an announcer mistakenly introduced her as actress Dimple Kapadia, which drew laughter and was quickly corrected. Yadav urged the government to show sensitivity and criticized the Uttar Pradesh administration's selective demolition notices. The Delhi High Court directed daily medical monitoring of Wangchuk and authorized necessary interventions.
