Students protest after alleged NEET-UG leak
Wangchuk's fast was part of ongoing student protests, where young people demanded a fair examination system and support for families affected by student suicides linked to the alleged NEET-UG paper leak.
While Angmo praised how calmly students protested, Wangchuk also called for an inquiry into nefarious elements trying to hijack their movement.
She stressed, "Students have the right to demand resignation."
