A prominent climate activist continues an indefinite hunger strike in the national capital, now in its seventeenth day. Supported by a youth political movement, the protest centres on alleged examination paper leaks and demands accountability within the education system, specifically calling for the union education minister's resignation. The activist has lost over eight kilograms, surviving solely on water, while three participating students have been hospitalised.
Protesters maintain their stance, urging the central government to engage with them. The activist has also appealed to the leader of the opposition to support the youth's demands. While several opposition figures have expressed solidarity, the principal opposition party has maintained a distance, launching a separate agitation for educational reforms. The central government, having reconducted the medical entrance examination, claims to be cleaning up the system but has yet to engage directly with the protesters at the site.
