Gitanjali Angmo led a CJP protest march to the Indian Parliament on July 20, 2026 [1] to demand education accountability [2].
The demonstration marks a critical escalation in the campaign to address alleged NEET-UG paper leaks. By involving the family of prominent activist Sonam Wangchuk, the movement seeks to increase public pressure on the government during the Monsoon Session of Parliament.
Angmo’s participation is tied to her husband's ongoing hunger strike. Sonam Wangchuk said he would end his fast on July 20, 2026 [1] if specific conditions were met. These conditions include demands for the government to address education-related grievances, and for political leaders to provide assurances regarding accountability [1].
Other reports suggest the end of the hunger strike was contingent on the size of the crowd supporting the CJP march to Parliament [2]. The protest focused on the need for the government to raise the issue of the NEET-UG paper leaks during legislative sessions to ensure transparency, and fairness in the national examination system [1], [2].
The CJP's "Chalo Sansad" march aimed to bring national attention to the systemic failures in education administration. Angmo said the government should meet the demands of the activists to secure her husband's health and the resolution of the crisis [1], [2].
Wangchuk has long been a figure of dissent and advocacy in India. The current focus on the NEET-UG leaks reflects a broader push for reform in how high-stakes testing is managed and monitored across the country [2].

The involvement of Gitanjali Angmo transforms a political protest into a personal and humanitarian appeal, increasing the visibility of the NEET-UG scandal. By linking the end of Sonam Wangchuk's hunger strike to government action and public mobilization, the activists are utilizing high-stakes leverage to force education accountability onto the official parliamentary agenda.
