Wangchuk’s health deteriorates during hunger strike 'CJP Protest, Day 15'

Climate activist Sonam Wangchuk entered the seventh day of his hunger strike at Jantar Mantar on Saturday, with the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) saying he has lost five kilograms and that his health is deteriorating rapidly.

The outfit reiterated its demand for the resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan over alleged examination irregularities.

CJP founder Abhijeet Dipke said on X that Wangchuk’s condition was worsening with each passing day and wondered



why Pradhan had not been sacked yet.

“Sonam Sir has lost 5 kg, and his health is deteriorating with each passing day. How much longer will the Prime Minister wait before sacking Dharmendra Pradhan?” Dipke said.

“Why is Dharmendra Pradhan so important to PM Modi that, despite the deaths of 20 students, he still refuses to remove him?” he asked.

In another post, Dipke said the government would be responsible if anything happened to the activist.
