Student protests supporting activist Sonam Wangchuk's hunger strike and the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) agitation have spread across India and internationally. Demonstrations occurred in Ladakh (Leh and Kargil), Mumbai, Indore, Dehradun, Hyderabad, Vadodara, and abroad in London, Edinburgh, Glasgow, and Manchester.
Protesters called for a fair, transparent, and merit-based education system, while opposing alleged police actions against demonstrators. In Mumbai, about 900 people were charged in multiple FIRs related to the protests. Marches in Dehradun resulted in clashes with police, and protesters were detained in Vadodara and Hyderabad during demonstrations. The movement highlights significant youth mobilization on various issues, gaining momentum both domestically and internationally.
