The protest at Delhi's Jantar Mantar over alleged irregularities in NEET and other competitive exams entered its 11th day on Tuesday, with activists intensifying demands for accountability from the Centre.
Sonam Wangchuk's health declines
Activist Sonam Wangchuk, who is on the third day of his hunger strike, recorded a blood sugar level of 66, below the normal range. Doctors said prolonged fasting in extreme heat poses health risks. Protest organisers warned the Centre would be responsible if his condition deteriorates.
'Virus' remark sparks row
A political controversy erupted after BJP state president Nitin Nabin allegedly compared the protesters to a "virus." CJP founder Abhijeet Dipake condemned the remark, saying the protesters were "not a virus, but the vaccine against it."
Paper leak concerns raised
Protest leaders also cited the alleged Rajasthan Paramedical Council paper leak, claiming it reflected wider failures in the examination system. They urged students and parents to join the movement, saying the issue extends beyond NEET.
Access restrictions alleged
Organisers alleged that people were being stopped from entering the protest site without ID cards and claimed heavy police deployment had prevented several student activists and farmer leaders from joining the demonstration. Despite the restrictions, protesters said the agitation would continue.
