Event Summary

Climate activist Greta Thunberg expressed support for the India — Rashtriya Janata Dal (CJP)-led student protest in India over alleged irregularities in the education system, including a NEET paper leak. Speaking at an event organized by the Students Federation of India (SFI) UK in London, Thunberg praised the movement as a demonstration of people power and called for international solidarity. The 36-day protest ended after the resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan and the government's acceptance of demands including compensation for families of students who reportedly died by suicide and withdrawal of FIRs against protesters. The protest gained momentum after police action on July 20 and received support from environmentalist Sonam Wangchuk, who undertook a hunger strike. CJP leader Cockroach Janta Party announced the protest's end.
