An Indian activist, Sonam Wangchuk, is in the 17th day of a hunger strike in central Delhi. Multiple outlets report that the protest is tied to allegations of exam leaks and broader demands for accountability in India’s education system. Wangchuk’s fasting is described as solidarity with a youth leader associated with the Cockroach Janta Party, who is also holding a sit-in protest. The youth leader’s sit-in calls for the immediate resignation of India’s Union education minister. As of the latest reports, Wangchuk’s continued hunger strike is drawing attention while officials and supporters face calls to address the exam-leak concerns and the protest’s political demands. Both reports frame the hunger strike as part of a coordinated public campaign rather than an isolated action, emphasizing that Wangchuk’s strike is meant to support the ongoing sit-in. The reports also note that authorities or other figures urge Wangchuk to end the hunger strike, reflecting heightened pressure around the protest’s duration and its connection to the education minister’s role.
