Sonam Wangchuk Hospitalised: CJP’s 20 July Rally Unaffected by Health Challenges

Sonam Wangchuk hospitalised – Sonam Wangchuk’s hospitalisation has sparked concerns about the future of the Cockroach Janta Party’s (CJP) planned July 20 protest rally at Parliament, but the movement’s leaders remain resolute. Activist Sonam Wangchuk, who has been at the forefront of the hunger strike for 21 days, was admitted to Safdarjung Hospital in Delhi after his health deteriorated. Despite the setback, the CJP has confirmed the rally will proceed as scheduled, with founder Abhijeet Dipke vowing to continue the protest and extend the hunger strike indefinitely. The incident highlights the intersection of personal health and political activism in the ongoing demands of the movement.

The Hunger Strike and Medical Crisis

The hunger strike, which began on June 28, was a response to alleged irregularities in national exams, including the NEET and other test paper leaks, as well as broader student grievances. Sonam Wangchuk’s condition has drawn attention to the physical toll of the protest, with his wife, Gitanjali Angmo, expressing concerns over the transparency of his medical treatment. The activist’s hospital admission underscores the challenges faced by leaders of sustained demonstrations, balancing public commitment with personal well-being.

“I am starting an indefinite hunger strike beginning right now,” Dipke posted on X after Wangchuk’s hospitalization. He also demanded the resignation of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, emphasizing the urgency of the movement’s cause.

Family Concerns and Institutional Transparency

Gitanjali Angmo has raised questions about the Delhi High Court’s role in the activist’s transfer to the hospital, accusing officials of withholding medical reports and limiting the family’s access to information. She stated, “Sonam is absolutely fine, but they refuse to share his reports. We want to take him to a place we trust,” according to PT
