CJP protest enters Day 19; Wangchuk loses over 7 kg, AISA member hospitalised

Sonam Wangchuk's condition deteriorates further, with doctors reporting that he has lost more than seven kilogrammes since the beginning of his indefinite fast 11 days ago. AISA student activist Hrishikesh, who was in an indefinite hunger strike, was admitted to the Ram Manohar Lohia hospital after suffering from severe complications. The remaining four students continue to their fast. The CJP protest demands the resignation of Union Education Minster Dharmendra Pradhan, alleging that repeated examination irregularities and paper leaks have devastated the lives of students and their families. Samyukta Kisan Morcha has also expressed solidarity with the protest.
