Wangchuk Welcomes Exam Bill, Urges No-FIR Promise
Sonam Wangchuk is a student activist who led a 36‑day protest in India about exam problems.
He is happy that a new law to improve exams has been introduced.
He wants the government to keep a promise that no students will be charged with crimes for protesting.
He says trust between the government and young people is very important.
He also liked the Indian Railways and said his train trip from Delhi to Srinagar was beautiful.
Activist Sonam Wangchuk welcomed the Public Examinations (Amendment) Bill in Parliament, hoping it will spur broader education reforms.
He urged the government to honor its written assurance that no FIRs or legal action would be taken against students who protested over exam irregularities.
The appeal follows the Cockroach Janta Party’s 36‑day agitation, which ended after the Centre accepted key demands, including the resignation of former Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan.
Wangchuk highlighted the importance of trust between the government and youth, calling it essential for building a “great nation and a great India.”
He also praised Indian Railways, describing his Vande Bharat train journey from Delhi to Srinagar as a “very beautiful experience.”
