Protest Over Exam Irregularities Continues, Activist's Health Declines
The Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) is holding a protest at Jantar Mantar, with activist Sonam Wangchuk on a hunger strike entering its second or third day. Wangchuk's health has reportedly worsened, with his blood sugar level dropping. The CJP is demanding accountability from the government, specifically the resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan, over alleged irregularities and paper leaks in competitive exams. The protest has widened its appeal, inviting political parties, including the BJP, to join.
