Dharmendra Pradhan Resigns Amid Student Protests; Sonam Wangchuk Calls It Democratic Victory
Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan resigned following weeks of nationwide student-led protests over alleged NEET exam irregularities. Activist Sonam Wangchuk hailed the resignation as a "victory of democracy," crediting peaceful protests led by the Cockroach Janata Party and Gen Z for the outcome. Wangchuk, who ended a 26-day hunger strike, called for the movement to shift focus from accountability to broader educational reforms. The Cockroach Janata Party announced the protest's end after key demands, including Pradhan's resignation, were accepted, while urging continued peaceful advocacy.
