Activist Fasting Draws Support for Education Minister Resignation Call

An activist who fasted for three weeks was taken to a hospital, an event that increased public attention on calls for the resignation of India's education minister. The demands center on exam paper leaks and have drawn support from a youth movement. The activist is now viewed as a prominent figure in that movement.

The protest began as a focused effort to hold officials accountable for repeated exam paper leaks. It later expanded as more people joined the calls for the minister's resignation. Hospital staff confirmed the activist was admitted after the prolonged fast.

No further medical details were released. The movement has continued to organize around the same core demand while the activist remains under medical care.
