Çatışma · Sonam Wangchuk fast · ArşivDelhi Crackdown: Police Lathi-Charge Thousands as Sonam Wangchuk's Fast Hits Day 23Yazıldı 7 Eylül 2026 21:22 UTCİzleYayın dökümü0:00A dramatic escalation in New Delhi0:02today. Thousands of protesters demanding0:04education reform were met with baton0:06charges by Delhi police outside0:08Parliament as activist Sonam Wangchuk0:10remains hospitalized on day 23 of his0:12hunger strike. The government has0:13imposed section 163 BNSS, the colonial0:17era replacement that bans gatherings of0:19more than five people across the New0:20Delhi district. Five metro stations have0:23been shut down and paramilitary forces0:25are patrolling central districts0:26tonight.0:28The protest route ran from the historic0:30Jantar Mantar, where Wangchuk had been0:32staging his sit-in for over a month0:33toward Parliament House. Police denied0:36permission for what organizers called a0:37Chalo Sansad march. When thousands0:40gathered anyway, officers moved in with0:42batons near Parliament Street. Wangchuk0:44himself is not on the streets. Police0:46forcibly removed him from Jantar Mantar0:48days ago and admitted him to Safdarjung0:50Hospital under a high court order to0:52monitor his health.0:54The Cockroach Janata Party, led by a BJ0:57Dipkey, organized the march. Organizers1:00say the government has reached out for1:01talks, but on the ground, the message1:03was clear. Delhi police invoked section1:05163 across the district calling any1:08gathering of five or more unlawful. The1:10Rapid Action Force was also deployed.1:13Speaking from his hospital bed, Wangchuk1:15laid out three conditions for ending his1:17fast. His wife Gitanjali Angmo has1:19separately moved the Delhi High Court1:21challenging his forced hospitalization1:23arguing he is being held against his1:25will under the guise of medical care.1:28First, accountability for the NEET exam1:30paper leak and other irregularities that1:32sparked this movement. Second, a1:34judicial commission to investigate1:36systemic failures in India's education1:38system. And third, withdrawal of what he1:40calls false cases against student1:41protesters. It is unclear whether the1:43government will accept any of these1:45terms.1:46Opposition leaders and public figures1:48have voiced support for the protesters.1:51Meanwhile, Wangchuk remains under1:52medical supervision. His movement, which1:55began over education exam1:56irregularities, has now become a broader1:58test of whether India's constitutional2:00right to peaceful assembly still holds.2:03The question tonight is whether this2:05crackdown restores order or deepens a2:07crisis of trust. With Wangchuk in2:09hospital, his wife in court, and2:11thousands having faced batons on the2:13streets, the demand for accountability2:15has not gone away. The government says2:17it wants talks, but for many protesters2:19actions speak louder than words.Makaleyi okuHaberin zaman çizelgesiHeyDexKısa video ↗İlgili haberlerSonraki gelişme·9 Eki 11:53 UTCFour of five Green MPs opposed the Zionism motion.
