In a recent political development in New Delhi, Congress MP Imran Masood has sharply criticised climate activist Sonam Wangchuk for concluding his 26-day hunger strike.Masood referred to Wangchuk as 'Anna part two', drawing a comparison with social activist Anna Hazare who has been silent for many years.He accused Wangchuk of striking a personal deal with the government and questioned whether any students were present during the negotiations.According to Masood, the activist's decision lacked broader participation and focused only on personal arrangements.The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) quickly responded to these remarks.BJP spokesperson Shehzad Poonawalla accused the Congress party of stooping low in their attempts to claim credit and insulting the activist.

He highlighted that Rahul Gandhi stayed abroad and did not visit the protest site, while the government successfully engaged with the protesters and helped end the fast peacefully.Poonawalla also mentioned that even Wangchuk's wife had expressed disappointment with Congress's insincerity.

This incident follows Wangchuk ending his fast in the presence of Union ministers JP Nadda and Jitendra Singh after prolonged talks to prevent any violence.Wangchuk noted support from 65 MPs across parties.

Meanwhile, the Cockroach Janata Party (CJP) announced continued protests demanding the resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan over the NEET-UG 2026 paper leak issue.The episode reflects ongoing tensions between opposition parties and the government regarding student protests and political credit.

Such exchanges highlight the sharp divisions in Indian politics where activism, protests, and governance often intersect with accusations and counter-accusations.
