In a video message, Wangchuk expressed gratitude to everyone who wished him a speedy recovery and supported him during his stay in hospital. His discharge comes days after he was admitted for medical treatment following the prolonged fast.

Earlier, Wangchuk welcomed former Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan’s resignation over the NEET paper leak, calling it a ‘victory for democracy’. He urged the Centre to reform education and governance, praised students, volunteers and the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) for leading the movement, and commended protesters for maintaining peace.
