Sonam Wangchuk Urges Centre to Honour No-FIR Promise

Activist Sonam Wangchuk has expressed his support for the introduction of the Public Examinations (Amendment) Bill in Parliament, hoping it will lead to wider reforms in India's education system.

He urged the Centre to honour its written assurance that no legal action would be taken against students who participated in the recent protests over alleged irregularities in public examinations.

In a video message, Wangchuk praised Indian Railways, saying he was 'very proud' of it, after travelling from Delhi to Srinagar on the Vande Bharat train.

Wangchuk stressed that reforms should not be limited to examinations alone, but should also focus on broader changes in the country's education system.

He appealed to the government to stand by its commitments, saying that trust between the government and the youth is essential for building a 'great nation and a great India'.

The government had assured in writing that no legal action would be taken against students who participated in the demonstrations and that no FIRs would be registered against them.

Wangchuk's appeal comes as the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) has repeatedly demanded that the government ensure no criminal cases are filed against students and protesters who took part in the nationwide agitation.

The CJP has sought a written assurance that all pending cases and FIRs would be withdrawn, warning that it could resume protests if the commitments are not honoured.

The introduction of the Public Examinations (Amendment) Bill is seen as a step towards addressing the concerns of students and protesters who have been demanding reforms in the examination system.

The bill aims to improve the examination system, but Wangchuk and the CJP are pushing for broader reforms in the education system.

The government's response to the protests and the introduction of the bill will be closely watched, as it will have a significant impact on the trust between the government and the youth.

In the end, the government's decision to honour its commitments will be crucial in building trust and creating a positive atmosphere for reforms in the education system.
