Dr. Gitanjali Angmo urged participants of the Sansad Chalo march in Delhi to maintain peace and focus on education on Monday [1].
The call for discipline comes as protesters move toward Parliament during the Monsoon Session, where the risk of escalation often increases during high-profile demonstrations. By centering the movement on educational priorities, organizers aim to maintain public support and avoid violent clashes with security forces.
The march, scheduled for July 20, 2026 [1], began at Jantar Mantar and proceeded toward the Sansad building [2]. Dr. Angmo, the wife of activist Sonam Wangchuk, joined the demonstration to ensure the protest remained focused on its core objectives.
"Stay focused on education, march peacefully," Angmo said [3].
She emphasized the need for participants to remain calm despite the tensions surrounding the event. "We must remain disciplined and vigilant throughout the march," Angmo said [3].
The movement has also drawn support from public figures. Actor Sonakshi Sinha expressed her solidarity with the cause and the leadership of the protest.
"I stand with Sonam and urge all protesters to stay peaceful and united," Sinha said [4].
While the march sought to highlight education as a national priority, reports on the status of organizers varied. Some reports indicated that CJP founder Abhijeet Dipke was picked up by Delhi Police, while others stated he was not detained [5, 6].
“Stay focused on education, march peacefully.”
The emphasis on non-violence by Dr. Gitanjali Angmo serves as a strategic effort to protect the legitimacy of the Sansad Chalo march. By framing the protest around education rather than purely political grievances, the movement seeks to minimize the likelihood of police intervention while maximizing the visibility of their policy demands during the critical Monsoon Session of Parliament.
