‘You Awakened Nation’s Conscience’: Dipke Reacts After Wangchuk Ends 26-Day Fast | WATCH

Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) founder Abhijeet Dipke on Friday welcomed Sonam Wangchuk’s decision to end his 26-day hunger strike, describing his life as “far too precious to this country”. He also praised Wangchuk’s efforts during the protest over the alleged irregularities in the NEET-UG 2026 examination, saying he “awakened the conscience of an entire nation.”

In a post on X, Dipke thanked Wangchuk for what he described as an extraordinary act of courage and sacrifice.

“We are relieved and grateful that Sonam sir has ended his hunger strike after 26 days. Thank you, sir, for your extraordinary courage and sacrifice. By putting your own life on the line, you awakened the conscience of an entire nation. Your life is far too precious to this country,” he wrote.

Dipke also posted a video on Instagram making the same statement.

Dipke said the CJP would continue its peaceful sit-in at Jantar Mantar until Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan resigned.

“The Cockroach Janta Party’s peaceful protest at Jantar Mantar will continue until Dharmendra Pradhan resigns,” he added.

The party has also called for nationwide peaceful protests on Friday, demanding Pradhan’s resignation over the alleged NEET-UG 2026 paper leak.
