Overview
- Wangchuk announced the ultimatum in a video from Geneva and said he will wait until June 27 before beginning an indefinite hunger strike at Delhi’s Jantar Mantar from June 28 if no demand is met.
- He framed two core demands: credible accountability for alleged NEET and other exam irregularities, and steps to protect Ladakh’s environment, culture and local democratic safeguards.
- The Cockroach Janta Party’s round-the-clock sit-in at Jantar Mantar has continued into its sixth day with protesters calling for the education minister’s resignation and refusing to leave the site.
- The campaign has used legal and digital tactics, including a challenge over the CJP account being withheld on X that is under government review and a hearing scheduled in July.
- Coverage has reported student deaths linked to the NEET controversy, with one outlet citing 17 suicides, but that figure is not independently verified and the movement’s escalation could increase public pressure on exam administration and Ladakh policy.
