Activist Sonam Wangchuk joined the movement, with him and several students undertaking a hunger strike to press for their demands. Alongside seeking accountability, the protesters are also calling for sweeping reforms to India's education system.On July 20, CJP called for a march from Jantar Mantar to the Parliament, attracting a huge response, with thousands descending on the designated protest site. It was met with several challenges. This included lathi charge and use of tear gas shells by security forces to disperse the crowd marching towards the Parliament. The protests have now spread nationwide, with calls for Pradhan's resignation growing louder amid mounting public support for the movement.Meanwhile, educator and activist Sonam Wangchuk, who had been on a hunger strike in solidarity with students for over 20 days, ended his fast early on Friday morning.
