Indian activist ends 26-day hunger strike to prevent violence

Sonam Wangchuk, an Indian activist supporting youth-led protests, ended his 26-day hunger strike on Wednesday. He said the decision followed lengthy negotiations and was made to prevent possible violence in the country. Wangchuk had been demanding the resignation of the education minister over repeated leaks of examination papers. In response, Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced tougher measures to tackle exam paper leaks. The Union Cabinet is expected to consider stricter punishments and the creation of fast-track courts for offenders. The government also aims to introduce new legislation during the ongoing Monsoon Session of Parliament. Wangchuk urged everyone to remain vigilant against any form of violence. The activist, who is known for his work in education and environmental issues, ended his fast after 26 days, expressing hope that his actions would lead to meaningful reforms. The exam paper leak issue has sparked widespread protests among students in several Indian states, demanding a fair and transparent education system.
