Activist's Hunger Strike and Protests Continue Amid NEET Paper Leak DisputePreviousNext

Activist Sonam Wangchuk continues his hunger strike demanding the resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan over the NEET paper leak. The government has engaged with Wangchuk, offering assurances against punitive actions and promising parliamentary discussions on accountability. Protests persist in Delhi and Chennai, with student detentions reported. Parliament's Monsoon Session faces disruptions as the Opposition insists on Pradhan's resignation before discussions. The Supreme Court declined to investigate alleged police violence during recent protests.
