Press Statement

 

The Polit Bureau of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) has issued the
following statement:

 

Concern over Sonam Wangchuk's Deteriorating Health

 

The Polit Bureau of the CPI(M) expresses its concern over the deteriorating
health of Sonam Wangchuk who is on a hunger strike demanding the resignation
of Dharmendra Pradhan for the leakage of the NEET paper.

 

The Union Government's refusal to interact with the protesting leaders and
students underlines its great insensitivity and authoritarian character. The
failure of the Union Government to conduct leak proof examinations has its
roots in the National Education Policy, NEP 2020. The centralisation and
commercialisation of education system promoted by the NEP is leading to the
mushrooming of the coaching industry. This, apart from communalisation, is
the root cause of paper leakage and all kinds of irregularities. 

 

The CPI(M) reiterates its demand for the immediate resignation of Dharmendra
Pradhan, scrapping of the NTA and NEP 2020. 

 

The Polit Bureau calls upon all its units and concerned citizens to stand in
solidarity with Sonam Wangchuk and other protesting students. Protests will
be organised across the country on 20th July on these demands and in
solidarity with Sonam Wangchuk.
