Uddhav Thackeray Calls for Movement Against Central Government, Supports Sonam Wangchuk
Shiv Sena (UBT) chief Uddhav Thackeray criticized the BJP-led central government at a Mumbai rally, calling for a movement to replace what he described as an unaccountable administration. He supported activist Sonam Wangchuk, who has been on a hunger strike since June 28 over alleged NEET exam irregularities and related student suicides. Thackeray questioned the government's refusal to engage with Wangchuk, contrasting it with past dialogues by previous administrations with activists like Anna Hazare. He accused the government of suppressing dissent and failing to address youth employment and education concerns.
