Addressing protesters at the Jantar Mantar, where the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) has been spearheading a movement against the alleged NEET paper leak, seeking education reforms, Ms. Angmo said Mr. Wangchuk has conveyed that he would end his fast provided there is a commitment from political parties to take up the issue in Parliament.
