Summary
A hunger strike by education reformer Sonam Wangchuk sparks national outcry as his hospitalization fuels claims of state suppression. The movement, dubbed the Cockroach Party after a Supreme Court remark likening unemployed youth to pests, demands the education minister’s resignation over exam leaks and broader systemic reform. With millions rallying online, activists vow to escalate protests, including a march to Parliament, while Wangchuk’s wife calls for transparency and medical autonomy, urging authorities to respect his consent.
