# Sonam Wangchuk rejects abusive language, urges government heed frustrated students 2026-08-06T15:40:46+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Scientist and activist Sonam Wangchuk said he did not support abusive language against political leaders, but called it a sign of deep frustration among young people. Speaking to India Today, he said governments should examine why students felt driven to such anger rather than act against them. A zero FIR against a 15-year-old girl over remarks against Prime Minister Narendra Modi was later withdrawn after she apologised and the complainant said the Prime Minister had forgiven her. Wangchuk, recovering in Ladakh after a 26-day hunger strike, said he had regained six of the 11 kg he lost. He also spoke with Jharkhand student leader Devendra Nath Mahato, advising him to drink water. Mahato continues his protest over alleged exam irregularities. The Cockroach Janta Party said it would support the Jharkhand protest, with Wangchuk continuing as its mentor. ## Coverage - hindustantimes.com Tags: exam irregularities, Jharkhand exams, political speech, Sonam Wangchuk, student protests Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/sonam-wangchuk-rejects-abusive-language-urges-government-heed-frustrated-students/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
