Sonam Wangchuk Support Post Misleading, Mostly False Claims
“Here's the text content from the image: --- **robinsingh2869** · 3h · See translation People posting on the support of Sonam Wangchuk, using the repost, it's your right you can... just few questions unke liye jinhone support ke story dali 1. It was created by AISF, the communist party which supports umar khalid and raises slogans azadi azadi? Do you support that? 2. It includes reject NEP national education policy, guys your sonam wangchuk already supported NEP and have met education minister in 2023, so you support sonam but the repost shows reject NEP? 3. Scraping NTA will lead to new agency formation what's the point then?”
Summary
AISF is a left‑leaning student organization that is helping supporters travel to the protest, not the creator of the movement. Sonam Wangchuk endorsed the National Education Policy when he met the education minister in 2023, even though his current protest criticises its implementation rather than outright rejecting it. There is no credible evidence that “scraping NTA” will lead to the formation of a new agency.
