AI Summary

After a 26-day hunger strike by Sonam Wangchuk over the NEET paper leaks, the government responded with assurances of no FIRs, compensation, a fast-track court, and parliamentary discussion. However, the key demand for Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan's resignation was not met, raising questions about whether the protest is truly over or merely at an interval.

[00:02]
Protest End Questioned

The video opens with the question of whether the Cockroach Janata Party protest has ended, as Sonam Wangchuk broke his 26-day fast after a midnight meeting with JP Nadda and Jitendra Singh.

[00:30]
Government Concessions

The government accepted demands: no FIR against students, compensation for victims, fast-track court, and parliamentary discussion on paper leaks.

[01:13]
Resignation Demand Missing

The biggest demand—resignation of Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan—was kept optional and last in Sonam's conditions, leading to questions about its fulfillment.

[01:42]
Government's Sudden Activity

The Modi government remained silent for 26 days but became active in the last 24 hours, with PM Modi making a video at midnight, indicating pressure from the protest.

[05:48]
Reason for Breaking Fast

Sonam Wangchuk cited fear of violence as the primary reason for ending his fast, as mischievous elements were attempting to incite violence under the movement's guise.

[06:40]
Ladakh Precedent

Reference to Sonam's earlier Ladakh protest where four deaths led to his imprisonment under NSA for 170 days, influencing his cautious approach.

[08:51]
Government's Resignation Stance

The Modi government has not accepted resignations in 12 years, viewing it as admitting a mistake; this pattern continues with Pradhan's position.

[10:58]
Core Voter Theory

The government tends to ignore protests until its core voter base starts shifting, which may have happened due to the widespread impact of paper leaks on families.

[12:04]
Crowd Beyond Leaders

The Jantar Mantar crowd no longer depends on any single face; many demand Pradhan's resignation regardless of Sonam's withdrawal, making the movement leaderless.

[14:13]
Anna Hazare 2.0

Comparisons are drawn to the 2011 Anna Hazare movement, which led to the formation of the Aam Aadmi Party, suggesting potential political fallout from this protest.

The protest achieved significant concessions but failed to secure the minister's resignation, leaving the movement at a crossroads. Whether it ends or evolves into a broader political force depends on the crowd's persistence and government's next steps.

[00:02] Has the protest of Cockroach Janata Party come to an end or will it end or is the picture still end or will it end or is the picture still left, my friend, this question arises because Sonam Wangchuk, who has not eaten a single grain of food for 26 days, who made the

[00:16] not eaten a single grain of food for 26 days, who made the protest of Cockroach Janata Party, which turned from a meme into a movement, larger than life, when JP Nadda and Jitendra Singh meet him at Medanta Hospital at midnight and give him a letter, Sonam Wangchuk

[00:30] breaks his fast with a smile. And when the biggest face of the movement says that now the fast is biggest face of the movement says that now the fast is over. The government accepted the demands. The government is saying that there will be no FIR against the students. Those who are not in this world will be compensated. A

[00:45] fast track court will be set up. It will be discussed in Parliament. So did this movement end here? Was it the crowd at Jantar Mantar which was

[00:58] not even allowing the policemen to leave the Parliament through the road? She was expressing her anger openly. She will expressing her anger openly. She will return home assuming victory. Will the boy who was preparing for the exam for 3 years and was getting worried and frustrated due to repeated paper leaks,

[01:13] worried and frustrated due to repeated paper leaks, consider this as his victory and end the fight here? Or this is where the questions will start. The question is that the biggest demand of the movement was the resignation of Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan.

[01:25] When Sonam Wangchuk laid down the conditions, why was that condition kept at the end and optional? And if Dharmendra Pradhan does not resign, then will the students agree to Sonam Wangchuk's other demands ? The second question which is very important is that how did the Narendra Modi government,

[01:42] important is that how did the Narendra Modi government, which was sitting quietly for 26 days, become so active in the last 24 hours? At midnight, the Prime Minister of the country was probably making a video with his phone for the first time. He made it himself. Look up like this, the frame

[01:56] is empty. And the Prime Minister, who addresses people as friends, was addressing GG as friends. addresses people as friends, was addressing GG as friends. making videos in Instagram format. So that it goes viral on reel. It should go viral in the chat.

[02:11] So that it goes viral on reel. It should go viral in the chat. People should know that he announced a fast track court. The Secretary of Education was removed. said that we are very serious about this and this fight will continue. Will

[02:26] we are very serious about this and this fight will continue. Will give very severe punishment. Now the question in the minds of the people is whether Modi ji is scared after seeing the crowd or has Modi ji finally realized that the problem of the children is very genuine? Another important question is

[02:40] whether the protest will end with the departure of Sonam Wangchuk ? Or this protest has gone beyond Sonam Wangchuk because this protest was there even before Sonam's arrival. It is a different matter that this protest of Cockroach Janata Party, which turned from a meme into a movement, was made

[02:56] But still, if it can start without Sonam's arrival, will it go away after Sonam leaves? And the last question is that till date no movement in this country has been able to shake the chair of any minister. Is history repeating itself this time too

[03:12] ? All the demands were accepted. Not only will the chair not be removed, but history will not be rewritten this time. This is the question which is

[03:26] When the government said that talks will be held with the students in the afternoon and after that the children have won, then the question is whether this is the end of the movement or the interval has not even happened yet. Hello, I am Shubhankar Mishra and this is a very historic moment. I am calling it a historic moment

[03:42] because Prime Minister Narendra Modi arrives at midnight. The Prime Minister's arrival at midnight shows that the government is worried about this matter. He is serious about this. She wants to end it. Sonam Wangchuk agrees.

[03:56] Happy pictures come. A message is being given by the government, by the supporters of the government, that we have accepted the demands of the children. Sonam Wangchuk has been convinced. Now what remains are those elements who want to incite violence. Sonam Wangchu himself is

[04:08] tweeting that it should be peaceful. Some anarchic elements have entered into it. Many Bollywood stars including Salman Khan are appealing that the protest should be ended and now the children should study. Sonam Manchuk, who returned home, also made an end. And from

[04:22] here, among the questions, the question arises whether this protest has come to an end ? We will explain this story to you today. before that, like every time, we request

[04:34] you to become our strength because if we want to strengthen our voice impartially, then you will have to support us. Lakhs of you watch our videos but subscribe less, please do so and please join our WhatsApp channel so that

[04:47] can also share it with your friends. Even if you don't share it, at least you can see it yourself. I have put the scan in the comment section of the link description or search it on WhatsApp. Now let's start with the first question. Important question. Sonam Wangchuk either broke the fast or the circumstances forced

[05:01] him to break it. Look, if you read what Sonam Wangchuk has posted on X, he says that 65 MPs from different parties either came to meet him or wrote a letter asking him to break the fast. Voices also came from Bollywood. A long conversation ensued.

[05:16] Sonam Wangchuk's weight reduced by about 11 kg in 26 days. That means even with 11 kg of muscles, it was difficult to stand anywhere. Now if someone in your house does not eat food for a week, you get worried. Just imagine, this man was hungry for 26 days. Not for ourselves but for our

[05:32] children. But Sonam Wangchuk did not cite his health as the reason. The biggest reason he himself gave for ending this protest was the fear of violence erupting in the country. He writes that everything is calm at Jantar Mantar. But

[05:48] some mischievous elements under the stage are trying to incite violence under the guise of this movement. And their logic is clear. Whatever the other person does, we will respond with flowers. That

[06:01] One slaps me and the other strangles me, you will not slap me. On the other hand, the government has also given written assurance that no

[06:13] FIR will be lodged against those who are sitting peacefully and are not creating any disturbance. No sticks will be used. So Sonam, or more understanding? Because it is also true that if stones are thrown during the protest, then the 26 days of penance that Sonam did will go to waste. For example,

[06:28] if you remember the Ladakh incident, Sonam Wangchuk was protesting in Ladakh and four people died. During the entire protest in Ladakh, which was getting huge support from across the country, Sonam Wangchuk was picked up and

[06:40] put in jail under NSA. Sonam Wangchuk was in jail there for 170 days because four people were murdered, so was Sonam afraid that if a similar accident happens at this place too, then all the hard work will go waste and now when the government has come forward, it is

[06:54] saying that no case will be filed against the children, compensation will also be given, a fast track code will be made, two ministers are coming to meet, all the demands are being accepted, the Prime Minister himself is making videos and tweeting, so is this a win-win

[07:06] situation, this is a matter to think, hence breaking the fast may not be a weakness but may also be a move of Sonam Wangchuk, breaking the fast may not be a weakness but may also be a move of Sonam Wangchuk, what were the conditions laid down by Sonam Wangchuk. Now the second question is that the important

[07:22] question in the meantime is that it is a win-win situation for Sonam Wangchuk. But then the child is asking what happened to Dharmendra Pradhan's resignation? And how did Dharmendra Pradhan 's resignation disappear from the deal with Sonam Wangchuk's government ? Because this was a very

[07:35] important issue. 70 papers were leaked in 7 years and the demand had increased due to this. Account of paper leak and resignation of Education Minister. But when Sonam Wangchuk gave the conditions to the government, this was the last condition and that too unconditional that if possible, the Education Minister should

[07:51] resign. The but now the public will ask what happened to the resignations? This is what Abhaji is asking. That sir

[08:04] thank you. But if you don't resign then I will not leave you. Now is this a half victory or a complete compromise? Because people are saying that brother, I have never seen so much in any movement till date. Meaning, you remember the CAA NRC movement, they remained sitting and got nothing, you

[08:19] remember the farmers' movement, more than 700 people lost their lives, it went on for more than a year, only then the matter was accepted, here in 26 days the government is accepting that the fast track court judge removed one man, Vineet Joshi, who was the Secretary of the Higher Education Department,

[08:35] according to this, this should be a win-win situation, gave everything which was easy for the government also. Transfer, fast track court, compensation, debate. The ego of the government has remained the same till now, there will be

[08:51] no resignation. It hasn't happened in the last 12 years. No serious allegations have been made. The simple logic of the Modi government is that if you are resigning then it means you are accepting your mistake. And this government does not accept its mistake. The government fixes things every time.

[09:04] But she does not resign. Later she changes it slowly. We made a video of 12 years that 12 years zero resignation, you can watch it on YouTube. We had explained in detail because the government feels that resignation means getting cut and

[09:18] accepting the mistake and the government says that we heard your problems and have given a solution. The question is, will what the government has saved keep the movement alive? Will whatever he gets end the movement? This is a very important question. And

[09:33] what do you think about this question? Please tell us in the comment section. Another question is that why the work which was done in 24 hours was not done in 26 days ? Meaning this is also something to think about. The government has become very active in the last 24 hours. Everybody is taking credit. That means we

[09:48] can also take credit that we asked Modi ji that when will you speak Modi ji? Till date Modi ji never spoke. We made a video, millions of people shared it and Modi ji said. He tweeted on the very first day. After that, see today, I

[10:00] made a video on Instagram. Abhijeet Deepi is saying that it happened because of us. Upan ji might be saying that it happened saying that it happened because of us. The TV guy is saying it happened because of us. The child is saying it happened because of us. But it happened for some reason. The question is arising that

[10:15] why the government which woke up in 24 hours did not wake up in 26 days ? Because a man above 60 years of age remained hungry for 26 days. The system was sleeping. But now see, everything that did not come in 26 days is coming in 24 hours. And the answer is probably hidden in the same video of the PM. For the

[10:30] Shooting the video myself. Friends, on Insta mode, people are saying that there is pressure on the face and this pressure was not created by any party leader but by those children who did not have any flag,

[10:43] no chair. There was a call and the question was why was the paper leaked? Those same children who wake up in the morning and study, whose parents were actually worried. And by the way, let us tell you one thing deep inside about the Modi government. As per analysis,

[10:58] one theory of the Modi government has been that it ignores protests. She ignores to her heart's content. ignores protests. She ignores to her heart's content. Until the core voters of the government start shifting away. And when the government realizes that its core voter base is slipping away.

[11:12] Then she gives him the session. Before that there is anti-national protest. There is so and so protest. This is a deep state conspiracy. Pakistan got involved in this. All those theories keep going on. But this time because the protest was genuine and the protest was connected to every household. He was

[11:27] connected to all the parents of the country and when he appeared at Jantar Mantar, and when he appeared at Jantar Mantar, he probably put so much pressure on the government that the most powerful man in the country had to wake up in the middle of the night and make a video to respond.

[11:39] This is a big thing. It's a matter of honesty. And the gestures are good from both sides. The table for discussion is set. It is being said that in the proposal that is being made, there is neither anyone's defeat nor anyone's victory. There is talk of getting freedom from the problem of paper leak. There is

[11:52] talk of getting freedom from the coaching mafia. And if this happens then it will be a big victory for the students of the country. Fast track court is a big thing. But then the story is the same, Dharmendra Pradhan is stuck. But one question is important and this is the question

[12:04] we asked last. This matter is stuck on Dharmendra Pradhan because a theory is also being given that the protest at Jantar Mantar is no longer dependent on any face. protest at Jantar Mantar is no longer dependent on any face.

[12:18] Abhijeet Deepak, Saurabh and XYZ leave today, there is still a huge crowd there which will remain seated. He does n't even know who the leader is but he wants Dharmendra Pradhan's resignation and this must be troubling the government. The

[12:36] protest is going on since June 20. Sonam came on 28th. One thing that is gaining traction is that 80-90% of the crowd is repeating me again. I am asking you to talk to all the people who have gone to Jantar Mantar. He believes that 80-90% of the crowd does not care about Sonam Wangchuk. This

[12:48] means that the man around whom the entire movement grew no longer matters to them. A voice is coming from Jantar Mantar that we want resignation, not Sonam. And Jantar Mantar

[13:01] is another bitter truth that it has become a fair for those who are troubled by the Modi government. he is upset with the government for different reasons. Now those who do not like Modi ji are also present

[13:13] there in large numbers. Along with the issue of students, how they will remove them and it will be interesting to see. It will be interesting to see the conversation when it happens after 12:00 noon. interesting to see. It will be interesting to see the conversation when it happens after 12:00 noon.

[13:30] because of all this crowd, pressure was created. Otherwise earlier student papers used to get leaked. I used to cry alone. Now the entire family sitting in the village is asking questions. And that's probably why this issue is is also difficult for the government because the leader can be talked to. The leader can be persuaded. The leader can be

[13:44] defamed. But what to do with the crowd? Who has no face at all. Whom should I give the letter to? Who should be admitted to the hospital? Because Sonam Vanshu is its adopted leader? Now probably not, even if Abhijeet Deep goes on a hunger strike,

[14:00] I don't think it will make much difference to the government. On the other hand, there are people from the government who are poster boy has agreed. Now with what face are you sitting? Stop the drama. The country is watching. All these theories are going on continuously. There are many people who feel that the

[14:13] script of 2011 is also being released. That means he compared him with Anna Hazare. There are many people who are

[14:27] modern day Anna Hazare has withdrawn his fast. That means Anna Hazare Sonam Vakch is now asking what will modern day Kejriwal do? Abhijeet, will he listen to his guru or will he contest the elections by forming a new party and that is why perhaps many people are thinking that this is a script of 2011.

[14:43] perhaps many people are thinking that this is a script of 2011. Babu, when you were not born or when you were in diapers or when you were very small, Anna ji had started a movement which shook the Congress.

[14:57] Anna ji later broke the Un Mansion but the movement was not over. Kejriwal later contested elections on that sympathy and won the first election with a huge margin of votes. This time also these people have received the blessings of Kejriwal. Akhilesh Yadav has received it.

[15:13] Except Rahul Gandhi, the rest are with the opposition. So in such a situation, it remains to be seen whether there will be 2011 2.0. But one thing is that often a new party emerges from the womb of big movements. But the party will emerge from here and this is a bit difficult because

[15:28] many political parties are already associated here. By the way, has this country ever seen any movement win completely ? This is a very important question and the answer is no. You remember the farmers' movement lasted for a year. All three laws were withdrawn but there was

[15:41] no resignation. It did not happen. The government later removed the minister. Anna movement which shook the entire country. Lokpal was formed but the minister was not removed. That means the accounts of this country are clear. The government may go but the minister's chair should not go. At

[15:57] least don't go at that time. Movements change laws. Don't change the chair. And that is why the question is whether the children of Jantar Mantar will be able to achieve what the big movements could not or will history repeat itself. Another thing worth thinking about which no one is

[16:10] asking is who suffers the loss if the paper is leaked ? The student of his year, the parents' money, the sleep. But who earns the money? Fill the form again, pay the fees, go to coaching, rent a room again. After every leak, someone's

[16:23] shop shines. Until this money-making game is broken, leaks will continue. No matter who the minister is. This is also an important matter and if the government has taken steps towards ending it then it should also be appreciated. It is

[16:38] is formed and the thing that I am most happy about Sonam Wangchuk 's demands is that FIRs should not be filed against children. Look, I know that the people at Jantar Mantar will Look, I know that the people at Jantar Mantar will

[16:55] resignation at number four and the other demands higher. But the demand that Sonam Wangchuk has placed at number one, that not a single FIR will be filed against the children, I think is a huge victory. Compensation, fast track court, not allowing paper leaks again,

[17:12] resignation of the education secretary, all these things come after that. I am telling you the reason why no matter how big the protest is, the day the incident happens, the action that takes place after that, life gets ruined in the courts and

[17:26] Sonam Wangchuk has suffered it. I had already given an example in this video that already given an example in this video that four people had died in Ladakh, the entire country was with Sonam Wangchuk, but despite that, he was put in jail under NSA because the

[17:38] day two or four people die in a protest, all logic goes away, all sympathy goes away. In such a situation, Sonam Wangchuk has won to a great extent. If seen, both Sonam Wangchuk and the government have won. Both have lost.

[17:51] Sonam has lost because he could not get Dharmendra Pradhan to resign and the government has lost because it has removed the Education Secretary. Sonam Wangchuk, whom they were

[18:03] indirectly declaring as China's agent, was his people. I gave him a letter, and agreed to give him money. A fast track court has been created. Modi ji has track court has been created. Modi ji has come at midnight. So it is a win win for both. Learn loan

[18:18] also belongs to both. And the public also has to understand this. Let us see today, it is being said across the country is still discussion today. That means by evening it will be known whether the crowd will stay or disperse. I will answer you before I leave. What do you think? End of protest or the picture is still left my

[18:34] friend? Because Sonam's fast has ended. An announcement has been made to hold a protest and not a movement, announcement has been made to hold a protest and not a movement, and the resignation has not happened yet. So in total, in 26 days, one man fought and went to Winwin,

[18:48] but what will come out of the afternoon meeting ? What will happen in the evening? It remains to be seen whether the crowd will reduce. We have to keep an eye because the fight is not only between the leaders, because the fight is not only between the leaders, brother. This was a fight between children and our younger

[19:01] brothers and sisters who are preparing in their hostel rooms would also be watching it. What is happening to them? So we are busy making videos for you at midnight. You too tell us in the comment section whether you think the movement will calm down without resignation

[19:15] preparing for the exam then comment and tell us and before leaving,

[19:29] not saying Instagram. It is our turn from there. Please follow me on WhatsApp, friend. And tell me the rest, is Sonam unfaithful or intelligent?
