‘Such Arrogance’: Congress, Shiv Sena & AAP Tear Into Modi Govt over Sonam Wangchuk’s Removal
Baby says Delhi Police detained peaceful protesters instead of addressing alleged NEET paper leak and student deaths.
- On Saturday, Delhi Police forcefully shifted climate activist Sonam Wangchuk to Safdarjung Hospital from Jantar Mantar after his health deteriorated on the 21st day of his indefinite fast. CPI general secretary M.A. Baby condemned the action, accusing the Centre of suppressing peaceful protests.
- Wangchuk began his indefinite hunger strike on June 28, demanding the resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan over alleged nationwide examination irregularities, including the NEET paper leak controversy.
- Delhi High Court on Thursday directed that authorities monitor Wangchuk's condition daily, observing "the life of every citizen is precious." CJP founder Abhijit Dipke separately alleged he was detained and beaten by police while attempting to reach the protest site.
- Opposition leaders, including AAP's Manish Sisodia and Samajwadi Party MP Dimple Yadav, slammed the operation as an "assault on democracy." Critics alleged plainclothes officers blocked cameras to prevent documentation of police conduct.
- Delhi Police maintained that shifting Wangchuk was for "essential medical care" and appealed for protesters to vacate. Three AISA student activists—Neha, Aameen, and Manish—remain at the protest site, continuing their hunger strike.
