Delhi Protests Over Education Reforms Turn Violent

A large group of protestors, over 50,000 people, gathered in central Delhi to demand the resignation of the Education Minister, Dharmendra Pradhan.

They are upset about problems in the education system, like the NEET paper leak, and want the minister to step down.

They also want the government to pay ₹1 crore to families of NEET applicants who committed suicide and to release Sonam Wangchuk, who is on a hunger strike.

The police say the protestors were violent and have arrested 70 of them.

The protestors say they will keep protesting until their demands are met.

Sonam Wangchuk has been on a hunger strike for 23 days and has set new conditions for ending it, including the government taking responsibility for education system failures and the CJP leadership reaching the Parliament.
