CJP founder on Sonam Wangchuk ending fast
Abhijeet Dipke, the founder of the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP), said that he was "relieved" and "grateful" that Wangchuk ended his fast.
Thanking him for his "extraordinary courage and sacrifice", Dipke wrote in a post on X: "By putting your own life on the line, you awakened the conscience of an entire nation. Your life is far too precious to this country."
"The Cockroach Janta Party's peaceful protest at Jantar Mantar will continue until Dharmendra Pradhan resigns," he further added.
The PM added, "The culprits have been caught and are in jail. Our most important responsibility was to ensure that students do not waste a single year. It was very important to take the exams immediately...I gave instructions to the departments for the fast-track court."
PM Modi also suggested that there would be a discussion in the Cabinet regarding fast-track courts.
After the suggestions of the cabinet members, it will be given its final form. And from Monday, when the second week of Parliament starts, we will try to get that bill passed as soon as possible," the PM said in the video.
