Sonam Wangchuk's Hunger Strike and CJP Protests Continue Amid Health Concerns
Gitanjali Angmo, wife of activist Sonam Wangchuk, has approached the Delhi High Court to seek his transfer from Safdarjung Hospital, alleging discrepancies in his health reports.
Wangchuk, who has been on a hunger strike since June 28, is protesting against Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan over alleged mismanagement of competitive exams.The police forcibly removed him from the Jantar Mantar protest site, leading to his hospitalization.Angmo claims the hospital misrepresented his potassium levels, stating they dropped to 2.9 (life-threatening) but omitted the exact figure in public reports.An independent test later showed his levels were normal at 3.5.She argues the hospital's actions constitute illegal detention, with over 30 police personnel monitoring their movements.The hospital's latest update mentions stable vital parameters but marginally altered blood levels.
The Cockroach Janta Party continues its protest, with founder Abhijeet Dipke initiating an indefinite hunger strike and planning a march to Parliament during the Monsoon Session.The case highlights tensions between political activism, medical ethics, and institutional accountability.
