Hunger Strike

PM Modi wished Sonam Wangchuk a speedy recovery after he ended his 26-day hunger strike and urged him to follow doctors' advice and regain his health.

Sonam Wangchuk ended his 26-day hunger strike in New Delhi after discussions with the Centre and said he will share details of the negotiations in a video.

Sonam Wangchuk will continue his hunger strike until Parliament takes cognisance of the police action on protesters, his wife Gitanjali J Angmo said.

Sonam Wangchuk said he will end his hunger strike only if the government and MPs make concrete commitments to address paper leaks.

Sonam Wangchuk's wife moved the Delhi High Court seeking his discharge from Safdarjung Hospital and transfer to a private hospital.

Doctors said Sonam Wangchuk is stable but requires continued medical supervision following his prolonged hunger strike.

Sonam Wangchuk's wife, Gitanjali J Angmo, requested Safdarjung Hospital not to administer treatment without the family's consent.

Sonam Wangchuk was shifted to Safdarjung Hospital on doctors' advice after his health deteriorated, Delhi Police said.

A letter petition has been moved in the Supreme Court seeking protection of Sonam Wangchuk and other protesters at Jantar Mantar.

Sonam Wangchuk was hospitalised after his health deteriorated during a 20-day hunger strike at Delhi's Jantar Mantar.
