Opposition Unites Over Wangchuk's Removal
Many opposition parties in India are coming together to talk about some big problems they have with the government.
One of the main issues is about an activist named Sonam Wangchuk, who was protesting about problems students are facing, like exam papers being leaked and the cost of education going up.
The government took him away from his protest, and the opposition parties think that was not right.
They are going to talk about this and other issues when Parliament meets.
They also think the government is not listening to people who have concerns and is treating them badly.
Some famous people, like actors, also support Wangchuk and his concerns.
Opposition parties plan to unite and discuss a strategy to address government actions during the Monsoon Session of Parliament.
Activist Sonam Wangchuk was forcibly removed from his protest at Jantar Mantar, sparking widespread condemnation.
Key issues include examination paper leaks, student suicides, and the rising cost of education.
Leaders from various opposition parties criticized the government's handling of protests and demanded accountability.
Support for Wangchuk came from political leaders and celebrities, who backed his concerns over student issues.
