Uddhav Sena Criticizes Centre Over Ignored Activist
The Shiv Sena, led by Uddhav Thackeray, is very upset with the central government.
They say the government is ignoring a famous climate activist named Sonam Wangchuk, who has been on a hunger strike for 21 days.
Wangchuk and a student named Neha are protesting because they want the Education Minister to resign.
They say the minister did something wrong with a big exam called NEET-UG.
The Shiv Sena also says the government is being mean to Wangchuk and not helping students who are very sad because of the exam scandal.
They even mentioned that some students have died because of this.
The Shiv Sena also praised Wangchuk for inventing special tents that keep soldiers warm in very cold places.
They warned the government that being so mean might not end well for them.
Shiv Sena (Uddhav Balasaheb Thackeray) criticized the central government for ignoring climate activist Sonam Wangchuk's hunger strike.
Wangchuk and a student named Neha have been on a hunger strike for 21 days, demanding the resignation of Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan over the NEET-UG question paper leak scandal.
The Shiv Sena accused the government of defaming Wangchuk and not addressing the alleged corporate land grabbing in Ladakh.
The editorial criticized BJP leaders, especially MP Manoj Tiwari, for maligning Wangchuk and accused the ruling party of harboring individuals who justify theft.
