TRIndian activist Sonam Wangchuk concluded a 26-day hunger strike after negotiations with federal ministers, though the broader 'Cockroach' protest movement continues to demand the resignation of Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan due to an ongoing examination paper leak scandal. The protests, which originated as an online satirical campaign, have grown into a nationwide movement involving students, professionals, and activists. Demonstrators argue that the scandal highlights deeper issues such as high unemployment, limited economic opportunities, and a lack of government accountability. Despite Wangchuk’s decision to end his fast, protest leaders insist that the movement will persist until Pradhan steps down. The Cockroach Janta Party, leading the protests, plans to engage in further dialogue with government representatives.
