Shashi Tharoor appeals to Sonam Wangchuk to break fast, urges government to engage in talks
Congress MP Shashi Tharoor urged activist Sonam Wangchuk to end his hunger strike, now in its 18th day, and called on the government to engage in dialogue with protesting students. Tharoor expressed concern for the younger generation in an open letter to the Jantar Mantar protestors, who demand the resignation of Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan over alleged exam irregularities. With Parliament reconvening on Monday, Tharoor emphasized the need to address these issues through legislative channels rather than through extreme measures like fasting.
