On Saturday, July 18, 2026, the central government forcibly admitted Sonam Wangchuk into hospital. They claim it was out of concern for his health. However, the way he was dragged away makes it evident that the government had no genuine concern for him. After witnessing the brutal lathi-charge against protesters yesterday, it appears that the government itself has become mentally unstable and needs to be hospitalized. Those in power seem obsessed with demonstrating to the world how they crush legitimate protests and take pleasure in showing it off to the other heads of state, even when you don’t share a common language, by flashing a booming, theatrical laugh for the cameras. After all, who exactly is Dharmendra Pradhan that the government views his resignation as a personal failure? When Manipur was in flames, this same government shielded the then-Chief Minister, Biren Singh, in a similar fashion. The truth is, the two top leaders in power have absolutely no affection for individuals like him or others of his ilk. Their attitude is: No one tells us what to do. Not the opposition, and certainly not the public. After all, we do not get elected based on votes. Our victories rely on manipulating the entire administrative machinery, exploiting chaos in voter lists, and, of course, the power of EVMs. Who cares about the students? Yesterday, the Prime Minister spoke about everything except the actual issue at hand. There is an English term called ‘Lame Duck President’. It refers to a leader in their final term who is relatively relaxed, tours the globe, and sees their influence wane while their successor handles the actual governance. It appears that Modi has currently reached a similar stage. Even if Modi harbored a genuine desire to act on these matters, the forces vying for succession likely compelled him to turn a blind eye. History will certainly remember that the students' protest was ruthlessly crushed during Modi's tenure as Prime Minister! If anyone desires such an image for him, and if Modi is willing to fall prey to it, then there is nothing more to be said. I have a request for Prime Minister Narendra Modi: You hold events like 'Pariksha Pe Charcha' (Discussion on Exams), so why not engage in a dialogue with the students now? Their demands are legitimate. The outcry of the nation's students is far more important than the egos of Dharmendra Pradhan and the government. The government must also realize that this protest is not merely about students or a single examination. There is deep-seated public anger against the establishment. Anger over how a single industrialist is being propped up and the entire nation is being handed over to him. How inflation has peaked. How forests are being razed to benefit contractors. How cities are suffocating under the guise of development. And how hospitals are overflowing. This outcry is against all these issues. Protesters are being brutally beaten on orders from the Home Ministry, yet the young men and women refuse to budge an inch. This courage stems not from anger over a single issue, but from the despair caused by the overall state of the country. Therefore, the government should abandon its ruthlessness and show some understanding. It is certain that the power gained through the Lokpal Bill movement will be lost through this student protest! Since 2018-19, I had been telling the public that they might not grasp what I was saying about this government at the time, but the day injustice knocks on their doors, they would understand! Today, that moment has arrived!
