CJP Urges Sonam Wangchuk to Prioritize Health

Wangchuk has been on a hunger strike for 25 days and is currently hospitalized at Medanta.

They emphasized their commitment to advancing this movement. Abhijit Dipke, the founder of CJP, also urged Wangchuk to end his fast. Previously, Wangchuk had indicated that he would conclude his hunger strike if MPs and political leaders assured him that the issue of accountability in the education sector would be raised during the Parliament's monsoon session. However, following police action against protesters during the CJP's 'March to Parliament', the activist declared that he would continue his hunger strike until such assurances were provided.
Opposition MPs to Visit Wangchuk
Sources reported on Tuesday that a delegation of opposition MPs plans to visit Sonam Wangchuk at Medanta Hospital in Gurugram. They aim to persuade him to end his 25-day hunger strike and assure him that issues related to alleged irregularities in competitive exams and accountability in the education sector will be raised in Parliament. According to sources, the delegation will encourage the activist to conclude his indefinite hunger strike, promising that the opposition will address these matters within the parliamentary framework.
