A ‘thank-you’, and a word of caution from activist Sonam Wangchuk at the Cockroach Janta Party protest

Sonam Wangchuk, a popular education reform activist, praised the Indian government for allowing the protest against examination irregularities at Jantar Mantar. He called it a "major achievement" and a "victory for India and even for the government," emphasizing that the movement was peaceful and aimed to achieve systemic reforms in education. Wangchuk urged the crowd to focus on broader goals, including equality in classrooms and access to quality education for all children, regardless of their background or location. He called for wider participation from citizens and ministers, believing that real change would come when policymakers themselves studied in government schools alongside everyone else.
