CJP urges Sonam to end 25-day fast, vows to continue exam protest

The Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) on Wednesday appealed to activist Sonam Wangchuk to end his hunger strike, saying his sacrifice had inspired students across the country and also assured him that the agitation over alleged examination irregularities would continue until its demands were met.

In a public letter addressed to Wangchuk, the CJP requested him to prioritise his health while pledging to carry forward the campaign for “examination justice”.

“With great respect and gratitude, we request you to please end your fast. Your sacrifice has inspired



thousands of students across the country,” the letter said.

Wangchuk has been on an indefinite hunger strike for the last 25 days in support of students demanding accountability over alleged examination irregularities.

Referring to the July 20 “Sansad Chalo” mobilisation, the CJP said students from different states had travelled to Delhi in support of the movement.

“You have shown that this fight is bigger than any one person and that students deserve justice. But right now, we need you to take care of your health,” it said.
