Omar Abdullah backs Wangchuk hunger strike, slams Centre's silence on NEET protest
Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah has expressed support for activist Sonam Wangchuk, who is on a prolonged hunger strike over alleged irregularities in the NEET examination. Wangchuk has been fasting for 19 days, demanding accountability from the central government, but authorities have yet to engage with his demands.
