Indian activist taken to hospital on 21st day of hunger strike

Indian social activist Sonam Wangchuk, 59, was hospitalized after 21 days of hunger striking in New Delhi, demanding the resignation of Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan over alleged exam paper leaks. The protest, led by the youth-focused Cockroach Janta Party (CJP), has drawn national attention and criticism of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's government. Authorities, including the Delhi Police, intervened after Wangchuk's health declined, citing court orders and medical advice. While police claimed he received treatment, CJP leaders accused them of forcibly removing him and expressed concerns about his whereabouts. The group plans further demonstrations ahead of the parliamentary session.

Bias read (Progressive): The article frames the protest as a legitimate challenge to the government, emphasizing the activists' demands and the government's perceived suppression. It highlights the personal sacrifice of the activist and portrays the government's actions as heavy-handed, aligning more with left-wing critique
