Jul 20, 2026 08:40 AM IST Sonam Wangchuk lays out conditions to end fast Activist Sonam Wangchuk on Monday said he would end his hunger strike only after the "Sansad Chalo" march and under specific conditions, including the Centre taking responsibility for recent failures in the education system or political leaders assuring him that the issue would be raised in Parliament.
In a post on X, Wangchuk wrote, "My fast continues till after the Sansad Chalo March, and will be broken only under the following circumstances," adding that he would call off the fast if the government accepts accountability for issues such as paper leaks, if he and the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) leadership reach Parliament and receive assurances from MPs, or if leaders visit him at Safdarjung Hospital should his health not permit him to participate.
Wangchuk, who was shifted to Safdarjung Hospital after his health deteriorated during the prolonged fast, also alleged that he was under "illegal detention" at the hospital.
In the same post, he claimed, "From the illegal detentions at Safdarjung Hospital, where my freedom of movement, speech and communication are restricted." His statement comes as thousands of protesters gathered at Jantar Mantar for the CJP's planned march to Parliament amid heavy security deployment across central Delhi.
