Reacting to Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan's resignation, climate activist and education reformer Sonam Wangchuk hailed the development as a triumph of grassroots democratic action, crediting the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) and the country's Gen Z for the outcome.
"IT'S A VICTORY OF DEMOCRACY," Wangchuk posted on X shortly after news of the resignation broke, calling it a case of "direct democracy... straight from the streets."
He described the moment as the result of sustained, non-violent public pressure. "It's a victory of peace, patience & persévérance," Wangchuk wrote.
Extending his congratulations to the protesters, Wangchuk singled out CJP and young citizens across the country for their role in the movement. "Congratulations CJP, Gen Z of the nation and thank you all citizens for shedding fear and the fear of fear and rising up from every corner of the nation," he said.
Wangchuk added that the resignation should mark the beginning of a broader push, not the end of it. "FROM ACCOUNTABILITY, NOW TO REFORMS," he said.
