With the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP)’s protest continuing at Delhi’s Jantar Mantar, demanding accountability and resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan over various alleged irregularities in the education sector including paper leaks, prominent activist Sonam Wangchuk has now also joined its stir, undertaking an indefinite hunger strike.
