CPI(M) condemns police action against Wangchuk, students
The CPI(M) has protested against police actions involving activist Sonam Wangchuk and students in New Delhi. The party is also demanding the resignation of the Union Education Minister over the NEET paper leak controversy.
Why it matters
The NEET paper leak has become a significant point of contention regarding educational integrity and government accountability in India.
The Communist Party of India (Marxist) on Monday condemned the reported police action against social activist Sonam Wangchuk and students protesting in New Delhi, and demanded the resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan over the alleged NEET paper leak.
Staging a dharna in front of the Visakhapatnam Collectorate, CPI(M) leaders criticised the reported disruption of Mr. Wangchuk’s indefinite fast and alleged use of force against students during a Parliament march, calling the police action undemocratic. They urged the Centre to engage with the protesters instead of resorting to coercive measures.
