Wangchuk clarifies ‘no deal with Centre’, ended strike fearing Ladakh-like crackdown after critics slam
Activist Sonam Wangchuk ended his hunger strike after 26 days, fearing a crackdown on protesters similar to the 2025 Ladakh incident, where police fired on youth. He clarified that he did not negotiate for the resignation of Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan, prioritizing the safety of students involved in the protests instead. Wangchuk expressed confidence that Pradhan would eventually resign and defended his decision against criticism, emphasizing the urgency of the situation in Delhi.
