Rewar Ends Hunger Strike Following High-Level Intervention

Jaipur witnessed a significant development today as student leader Shubham Rewar, who had been on a hunger strike for 15 days at SMS Hospital, finally ended his fast. Rewar's protest was centered around two key demands: the reinstatement of student union elections at Rajasthan University and the establishment of a Rajasthani Language Department.

The conclusion of his protest came this evening after a delegation of senior political figures visited him. PCC President Govind Singh Dotasra, Leader of Opposition Tikaram Juli, MLA Mukesh Bhakar, and other prominent leaders arrived at the hospital, engaging in discussions with Rewar. They offered him juice, bringing his prolonged fast to an end.

Leaders Express Concern Over Student's Health

During their meeting, the leaders voiced serious concerns over Shubham Rewar's deteriorating health. They emphasized that his well-being is crucial for continuing the fight for student interests, suggesting that other democratic avenues exist for pursuing such causes. Accepting their appeal, Rewar agreed to break his fast.

However, Rewar made it clear that his struggle for the reinstatement of student union elections and the fulfillment of his other demands would continue. He reiterated his commitment to student welfare, indicating that while the hunger strike was over, the broader movement would persist.

Government Yields to Student Pressure

This 15-day hunger strike and the accompanying agitation evidently put considerable pressure on the state government. Initially, the government had shown resistance regarding the establishment of a Rajasthani Language Department. However, faced with the sustained power of student activism, it ultimately conceded.

The administration has now approved the establishment of a 'Rajasthani Language Department' at the university. Furthermore, there's an assurance from the administration that a committee will soon be formed to make a positive decision regarding the reinstatement of student union elections. This marks a significant victory for the student movement.
