The decision came after a meeting with Union Ministers J.P. Nadda and Jitendra Singh, during which the Centre reportedly assured that peaceful protesters would not face legal action and that concerns related to examination reforms and accountability would be taken up through appropriate channels. While Wangchuk's fast concluded, protest organisers made it clear that the larger movement has not ended. Demonstrators continued gathering at Jantar Mantar, stating that their campaign would carry on until their key demands receive concrete action. Students, youth groups and supporters remained at the protest site, where volunteers continued distributing food, water and medical assistance to participants. The protest, which has drawn nationwide attention over the past week, has evolved beyond a single demonstration into a broader youth-led movement seeking greater transparency and accountability in the examination system. Organisers urged participants to maintain peace and continue expressing their demands through democratic means, emphasising that dialogue with the government should proceed alongside peaceful public participation. Government representatives and CJP leaders are expected to continue discussions in an effort to reduce tensions and find a constructive way forward. The latest round of talks follows several days of demonstrations, heightened security arrangements and widespread public debate surrounding the protest. Although the end of Wangchuk's hunger strike has been viewed as a positive step towards dialogue, organisers stressed that it should not be interpreted as the conclusion of the movement. According to protest leaders, the focus will now shift towards ensuring that the assurances given by the government are translated into meaningful action.
