Rahul Gandhi criticized the Centre’s forceful removal of Sonam Wangchuk from Jantar Mantar. Wangchuk was on an indefinite hunger strike for twenty-one days regarding NEET examination irregularities. Police shifted the climate activist to Safdarjung Hospital for medical observation and treatment. Opposition leaders condemned the Centre’s actions, calling it suppression of peaceful dissent. The protest demanded resignation and reforms in the education system.
