Despite two rounds of talks with the government, Sonam Wangchuk ending his 26-day hunger strike, and Prime Minister Narendra Modi promising tougher laws against exam paper leaks, the anger at Jantar Mantar has not subsided.

The Cockroach Janta Party has declared that the protest will continue until Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan resigns. But the movement also faces difficult questions. How much faith do the students camping at Jantar Mantar have in the party’s leadership and its promises? How do they view Wangchuk’s decision to end his fast?

With Delhi Metro stations repeatedly shut, internet restrictions imposed, and heavy police deployment around the protest site, what do the students think of the government’s response? What are their expectations from the opposition during the ongoing session of Parliament? And what message do they want to send to India’s political leaders?

Watch this candid conversation with students at the forefront of the protest.
