New Delhi, July 31:
Activist Sonam Wangchuk on Thursday welcomed the introduction of the Public Examinations (Amendment) Bill in Parliament, saying he hoped it would lead to broader improvements in the country’s education system, while urging the government to honour its written assurance that no legal action would be taken against students who participated in the recent protests.
In a video message shared on X while travelling to Ladakh, Wangchuk said he travelled from Delhi to Srinagar on the Vande Bharat train and described the journey, including crossing the Chenab rail bridge, as a “very beautiful experience”.
“I am very proud of the Indian Railways,” he said, adding that he and his team would spend a day in Kashmir before proceeding to Ladakh.
Referring to the recently introduced legislation aimed at strengthening the examination system, Wangchuk said he was happy that a bill on improving examinations had been brought in Parliament.
