Sonam Wangchuk's Health Worries Family as Fast Reaches 27th Day

Sonam Wangchuk, the noted social activist known for his work in education and environmental issues, is now on the 27th day of a hunger strike in Delhi. His family has expressed growing concern for his health as the fast continues. Wangchuk joined a protest organized by the satirical Cockroach Janata Party (CJP) at Jantar Mantar last month. The protest is over a paper leak in the NEET medical entrance exam. Demonstrators are demanding the resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan, accusing the government of failing to prevent the leak and protect students' interests. Wangchuk's decision to fast has drawn attention to the issue, with supporters and opponents alike watching closely. The activist has a history of peaceful protests, including his famous 2019 fast over the demand for a separate state of Ladakh. His current fast has now entered its fourth week, and his family is worried about his deteriorating health. Doctors have advised him to stop the fast, but he has refused. The protest at Jantar Mantar continues, with other activists and students joining in solidarity. The government has yet to respond to the demands for the minister's resignation. The NEET paper leak has sparked nationwide outrage, with many calling for a thorough investigation and stricter exam security measures.
