Prakash Raj backs Sonam Wangchuk, questions delay in Dharmendra Pradhan's exit

Actor Prakash Raj reacted to activist Sonam Wangchuk ending his 26-day fast, describing him as the "nation's conscience". He also questioned the delay in the resignation of Union Minister of Education Dharmendra Pradhan.

In posts on X, Raj responded to Wangchuk's announcement about breaking the fast and separately raised questions about Pradhan. His remarks focused on Wangchuk's sacrifice and on the continued delay over the minister's resignation.

Responding to Wangchuk, Raj wrote, "Thank you @Wangchuk66 sir for your sacrifice and for being the conscience of the nation..(sic)."

In another post, he asked, "Why are they delaying Dharmendra Pradhans resignation.. Is Shikshan Manthri more powerful than the Pradhan Manthri #justasking (sic)."

Prakash Raj was among the Indian film actors who joined the Cockroacj Janta Party's (CJP) student-led protest at Jantar Mantar in New Delhi. The actor also supported Wangchuk over his hunger strike seeking justice for students affected by the NEET paper leak, which sparked nationwide discussions on the education system.

Apart from Prakash Raj, actor-couple Riteish and Genelia Deshmukh, veteran actors Naseeruddin Shah and Shabana Azmi, actors Bhumi Pednekar, Nandita Das and others also backed the youth-led protest.

Actor Salman Khan also voiced his support for the students participating in Cockroach Janata Party's (CJP) protest at Jantar Mantar in Delhi. While the 60-year-old did not explicitly mention the group's name in his social media post, he praised the students for peacefully demanding a better education system.

In his lengthy post shared on Instagram on Wednesday, Salman called paper leaks "a very serious issue." He also praised the students for coming together to seek reforms and thanked parents for standing by them.

Wangchuk, who recently ended his fast, revealed that the Centre assured him that Parliament would discuss the NEET-UG paper leak and examination reforms, and that no legal action would be taken against peaceful protesters.
