दावा-वांगचुक की भूख हड़ताल तुड़वाने में कांग्रेस सांसद का रोल:सरकार के साथ 3 दिन तक चली बैक-चैनल बातचीत, प्रधान के इस्तीफे वाली मांग छोड़ी

According to a report by Dainik Bhaskar, Congress MP Vivek Tankha played a significant role in facilitating the end of activist Sonam Wangchuk’s 27-day hunger strike. The report claims that Tankha engaged in three days of back-channel negotiations between the government and Wangchuk to resolve the deadlock surrounding the protest, which was held in response to the NEET paper leak controversy. Tankha, who has previously represented Wangchuk in legal matters before the Supreme Court, reportedly worked alongside local Ladakhi leaders to bridge the gap between the two sides.

Following the conclusion of the strike, Wangchuk confirmed that while the protest ended, the government provided no specific assurances regarding the resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan. Wangchuk emphasized that his primary objective was to halt punitive actions against students involved in the movement, rather than securing the minister's resignation. The protest officially ended late Thursday night, with Union Ministers JP Nadda and Jitendra Singh visiting Wangchuk at Medanta Hospital in Gurugram, where Nadda offered him juice to break the fast.

The resolution of the hunger strike marks the end of a high-profile demonstration that had drawn significant national attention to the integrity of competitive examinations in India. While the government has not officially commented on the specific details of the back-channel negotiations mentioned in the report, the physical presence of senior cabinet ministers at the hospital confirms the high-level engagement involved in the final hours of the protest. The focus now shifts to the government's next steps regarding the broader concerns raised by the protesters regarding examination reforms.
