Sonam Wangchuk Lists Down Three Conditions Under Which He Will End His Fast

Activist Sonam Wangchuk, who has been on a hunger strike for more than 20 days, has agreed to end his fast today only if his three conditions are fulfilled.In a handwritten letter shared from what he describes as his "illegal detention" at Delhi's Safarjung Hospital, Wangchuk said his first condition is if the government takes accountability of the alleged "failures" in the education system - especially the recent NEET question paper leaks. His second condition is if political leaders assure him that the paper leak issue would be raised in the Parliament.In his third demand, Wangchuk said top political leaders must visit him at the hospital and give assurance of the other two conditions - if his health and other factors do not allow him to be a part of the Parliament march today.WHEN WILL I END THE FAST....!Not withstanding my health my fast continues till after the Sansad Chalo March, and will be broken only under the following circumstances... pic.twitter.com/kaOGx2Nk4T - Sonam Wangchuk (@Wangchuk66) July 20, 2026The climate activist, who has been demanding the resignation of Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan, had earlier urged his supporters to make the march to Parliament a "big success".Wangchuk joined the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP)'s protest at Delhi's Jantar Mantar against the Education Minister on June 28 and started a hunger strike to draw attention to the students' issues. However, on the morning of July 18 - the 21st day of his strike - the police removed him from the site and took him to Safdarjung Hospital after the Delhi High Court asked the government to do whatever it could to save his life.
