'From farmers to paper leak victims ...': Kharge flays Centre over Wangchuk row

Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge criticized the Indian government for removing activist Sonam Wangchuk from the Jantar Mantar protest site, accusing the administration of suppressing dissent. Kharge highlighted the government's alleged targeting of various groups, including farmers, students, Dalits, Adivasis, and social activists, claiming they were labeled as 'anti-national' or 'parasites.' He condemned the police action against Wangchuk as a violation of democratic principles and stated that the Congress' 'Students' Echo' movement would expand to Delhi. Wangchuk was moved to Safdarjung Hospital due to health concerns following his prolonged hunger strike, which demands the resignation of Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan over allegations of exam irregularities, including the NEET paper leak. The agitation continues despite Wangchuk's removal, with other leaders initiating new protests.
