Indian police hospitalize an activist who's on a hunger strike for education reform
Indian police hospitalized activist Sonam Wangchuk after his health declined during a 20-day hunger strike linked to the Cockroach Janta Party movement demanding education reform. The movement, sparked by a Supreme Court comment comparing unemployed youth to 'cockroaches,' seeks the resignation of Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan over alleged exam paper leaks and calls for systemic changes. Police cited medical advice and a court directive for the hospital transfer, which protesters contested.
