India: Police Move Activist Sonam Wangchuk to Hospital on Court Orders The Indian government's handling of the recent entrance exam scandal has been marred by controversy, and a high profile hunger strike by activist Sonam Wangchuk has brought attention to the long simmering education crisis in the country.
The 21 day fast, which began on June 28, took a dramatic turn this week when police moved Wangchuk to a hospital on court orders due to concerns over his deteriorating health.
The move sparked accusations of intimidation and harassment from the youth led Cockroach Janta Party (CJP), which has been at the forefront of protests demanding the resignation of Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan.
