The full story of Wangchuk Hunger Strike

Government persuaded activist Sonam Wangchuk to break his hunger strike, hoping to ease student protests over education issues.

Home minister Amit Shah facilitated behind-the-scenes moves, with ministers JP Nadda and Jitendra Singh negotiating with Wangchuk.

Wangchuk did not demand education minister Dharmendra Pradhan's resignation, unlike the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP).

Government agreed to not register criminal cases against peaceful protestors and to provide compensation to families of NEET aspirants who died by suicide.

PM Modi publicly wished Wangchuk recovery, while CJP continued its protest demanding Pradhan's resignation.

Sonam Wangchuk ended his 26-day hunger strike by sipping soup, captured in a 7-minute video.

Union Ministers JP Nadda and Jitendra Singh were present at the event along with senior leaders of the Apex Body of Leh Ladakh.

Wangchuk's family members and doctors were also present during the end of the fast.

Delhi High Court will urgently hear a PIL against internet suspension at Jantar Mantar.

The PIL challenges the government's internet shutdown during student protests.

The plea calls the suspension arbitrary and a violation of rights.

It seeks judicial review of the directive ordering the internet block.

Delhi Metro stations were closed on July 24, 2026, due to security arrangements for the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) protest at Jantar Mantar.

Janpath station, the closest to Jantar Mantar, had its entry glass panels covered with newspapers by the CISF.

Interchange facilities remained available at Rajiv Chowk, Mandi House, and Central Secretariat stations, according to the DMRC.

The full list of closed stations includes Lok Kalyan Marg, Rajiv Chowk, Patel Chowk, Ramakrishna Ashram Marg, Barakhambha Road, Supreme Court, Seva Teerth, Janpath, Mandi House, Central Secretariat, ITO, Delhi Gate, Indraprastha, Khan Market, Jor Bagh, Shivaji Stadium, Jhandewalan, and New Delhi.

The protest involved tear gas shelling and lathi charges, and the closures affected thousands of daily commuters in Central Delhi.

A clipped video showing Islamic slogans at a CJP protest is misleading.

Longer versions of the video show the group also raised pro-India and pro-Hindu slogans.
