Opposition Slams Government Over Removal of Activist Sonam Wangchuk

By TrendingWire Newsroom

Opposition leaders have criticized the government after activist Sonam Wangchuk was removed from a protest site in Delhi. Wangchuk was on an indefinite hunger strike for 21 days to demand reforms in the education system, specifically regarding irregularities in the NEET examination. Police shifted him to Safdarjung Hospital for medical observation and treatment. Congress leader Rahul Gandhi said the government's actions reflect 'falsehood and violence,' accusing it of suppressing peaceful dissent. Other opposition parties also condemned the removal, calling it an attack on democratic rights. The government has not yet commented on the incident. Wangchuk's protest had drawn attention to issues in the education sector, and his removal has sparked a political debate.
