Mr. Sonam Wangchuk has ended his fast after Union Ministers Shri JP Nadda and Shri Jitendra Singh met him at Medanta Hospital, Gurugram, and assured him of the government's commitment to address the concerns.
Shri JP Nadda said:
“The government is positive on not registering cases against those protesting peacefully at Jantar Mantar in Delhi, and those participating in the march to the Parliament on July 20, 2026. The government has already assured threadbare discussions to find solutions to paper leaks and educational reforms for exams in the Parliament. Besides, the government is also positively considering suitable compensation for the suicide victims of recent NEET paper leaks."
Mr. Wangchuk’s decision to end his fast reflects his trust in the Modi government's commitment to students' interests. The government has time and again reiterated its resolve to act firmly against paper leaks and strengthen examination reforms. The interests of the nation's youth remain a top priority for the government.
As PM Modi said, India's youth are a force for nation-building and every culprit operating against the nation’s future will be punished.
This is a significant development in Punjab’s political and religious landscape.
The Panj Singh Sahib at Sri Akal Takht Sahib has declared Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann as Panth Virodhi and Guru Virodhi. Earlier today, Jathedar Giani Kuldeep Singh Gargaj stated that a viral video purportedly showing Bhagwant Mann under the influence of alcohol and sprinkling droplets on photographs of the Guru Sahibs was examined by two prominent laboratories, which reportedly concluded that the video was neither fake nor AI-generated.
For millions of Sikhs, reverence towards the Guru Sahibs and Sikh maryada is non-negotiable. The statements made by the Akal Takht today are therefore likely to have far-reaching political and social consequences.
