Climate activist and engineer Sonam Wangchuk has declared he will continue his hunger strike even after the government held talks with demonstrators supporting his cause. His wife, Gitanjali Angmo, shared a handwritten note from Wangchuk on social media expressing his solidarity with the protesters. The demonstrators are mobilized under the banner of the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP). Wangchuk's message indicated that the government's engagement with protesters has not satisfied his demands, and he remains committed to his fast.

Delhi Police fired tear gas and used batons against student protesters on Monday who were attempting to march to Parliament. The demonstrators were demanding the resignation of Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan over alleged irregularities in major national examinations. The controversies include question paper leaks and technical glitches that have undermined the credibility of the exams. Congress leader Rahul Gandhi condemned the police action, stating that tear-gassing and lathi-charging students is not in keeping with India's values.

The Reserve Bank of India has revised its inflation outlook upward in its June monetary policy review. The central bank raised its FY27 CPI inflation forecast to 5.1 per cent, up from the earlier projection of 4.6 per cent. The revision reflects growing concerns over geopolitical conflict and uncertain monsoon conditions, both of which can drive up prices. These risk factors are seen as already exerting upward pressure on inflation in the economy.

Climate activist Sonam Wangchuk has declared he will maintain his hunger strike following a police crackdown on demonstrators near Parliament. He is demanding that youth leaders be granted access to parliamentarians, or that he himself be permitted to meet them. Wangchuk urged authorities to allow students to peacefully present their grievances to elected representatives. Thousands of protesters had marched toward Parliament calling for the Education Minister's resignation over alleged examination irregularities. Police responded with tear gas and force, resulting in the detention of several demonstrators during the march.
