Farmers also got great support

Under this, a big Khap Panchayat will be organized in Delhi today, in which the strategy to take the movement forward will be discussed.

These are the main demands of the movement

The agitators are demanding the resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan, arrest of all the accused in the paper leak cases, transparency in the examination system, improvement in the education system and security of the future of the students. He says that until the government takes a concrete decision on these demands, the agitation and hunger strike will continue.

What is the whole matter?

Sonam Wangchuk has started this movement against the Central Government and the Education Ministry regarding issues related to students. He says that to provide justice to the students, Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan should take moral responsibility and resign. At present, no official response has come from the Education Ministry on this matter.
