According to a report by the Times of India, climate activist Sonam Wangchuk was forcibly removed and taken to a hospital on the 21st day of his ongoing hunger strike. The intervention by law enforcement has triggered widespread reactions, drawing sharp criticism from prominent public figures.
Outrage from Vishal Dadlani and Prakash Raj
The sudden hospitalization sparked immediate outrage from well-known personalities Vishal Dadlani and Prakash Raj. Both figures took to public platforms to slam the government over the handling of the protest, expressing strong disapproval of the authorities' actions against the activist.
In defense of the intervention, the Delhi Police cited growing health concerns regarding Wangchuk's prolonged fast. Authorities also pointed to court orders as the legal basis for moving the activist to a medical facility.
Demands and the Upcoming Chalo Sansad March
Prior to his hospitalization, Wangchuk had been staging a high-profile hunger strike to demand the resignation of Union Minister Dharmendra Pradhan. The protest stems from widespread irregularities surrounding the NEET-UG examinations, which have sparked immense national concern.
Amid the unfolding situation, Wangchuk has urged citizens across the country to remain steadfast in their pursuit of accountability. He has specifically called upon the public to participate in the upcoming "Chalo Sansad" march scheduled for July 20.
