Overview
- Wangchuk posted a video and messages on X on Thursday asking citizens to begin what he called a 'peaceful revolution' and to help start 'India’s second Independence movement'.
- He framed the effort as focused on changing how political leaders are selected rather than targeting any single party and said the goal is systemic reform ahead of the country's 2047 centenary.
- Wangchuk warned that close to half of Members of Parliament face criminal cases and that about one third face serious allegations such as murder, rape or kidnapping, using this as a core reason for urgent change.
- He is crowdsourcing nominations of 'selfless, fearless' men and women, says he will convene experts and travel across states to hold public consultations, and invited citizens to propose at least one candidate from their region.
- So far the appeal is an open public pitch reported across national outlets with no formal organization, no announced campaign structure, and no official response from political institutions; he linked the call to recent protests that led to the education minister's resignation.
