Activist Sonam Wangchuk is pressing forward with his indefinite hunger strike from a hospital bed, even as high-stakes political and medical tensions persist. According to a report by the Times of India, Wangchuk is currently staging his protest from Safdarjung Hospital, subsisting entirely on salt water as his demonstration enters a critical phase.
Wife Questions Hospitalization and Medical Reports
The situation has escalated following a public dispute raised by Wangchuk’s wife, Gitanjali Angmo. She has strongly disputed the legality of her husband's forced hospitalization and voiced deep skepticism regarding the reported medical test results released by authorities. Insisting on transparency, Angmo is demanding independent medical testing before any formal treatment is administered to the activist.
Authorities Respond and Parliament March Plans Remain Active
In response to the mounting concerns from the activist's family and supporters, the Delhi Police have defended their actions. Officials cite direct court directions and urgent medical advice as the primary reasons for transferring Wangchuk to the medical facility.
Despite his current physical state—described as weak but alert—the momentum behind the demonstration has not slowed down. Organizers and supporters have confirmed that the planned July 20 Parliament march is still very much on track, as the ongoing NEET protest continues to draw widespread national attention.
