'Proud of railways, want to be proud of govt promises too': Sonam Wangchuk hints at pending govt assurances

[ad_1]

NEW DELHI: Scientist and climate activist Sonam Wangchuk on Thursday praised the Indian Railways but took a veiled swipe at the Centre, urging it to honour the commitments made to students during the Jantar Mantar protest.Sharing a video on social media, Wangchuk wrote, “m proud of Indian Railways. Want to be proud of Indian (govt) promises too.”In the video, Wangchuk described the railways as his favourite mode of transport and said he would travel to Ladakh by train. He also praised the Vande Bharat service between Delhi and Srinagar, calling it a pleasant journey.Referring to the ongoing debate in Parliament over the NEET-UG paper leak, Wangchuk welcomed the discussion and urged the government to fulfil the written assurances it had given to the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) and student protesters.“Do not file FIRs and honour the trust of the youth,” he said, urging the government to fulfil the commitments it had made to the student protesters.Earlier this week, Wangchuk paid tribute to Mahatma Gandhi at Rajghat before leaving for Ladakh. Addressing reporters, he said the movement had once again proved the relevance of Gandhi’s philosophy of non-violent resistance.
