Wangchuk Ends 26-Day Fast After Centre’s Assurances
Activist Sonam Wangchuk on Friday ended his 26-day indefinite hunger strike after the Centre assured him that several of his key demands would be addressed, including protection for peaceful protesters and discussions on examination reforms in Parliament.
Wangchuk announced the end of his fast after Union Ministers J.P. Nadda and Jitendra Singh met him at Medanta Hospital in Gurugram around midnight and conveyed the government’s assurances.
Reading out the Centre’s assurances in the presence of Wangchuk’s wife, Gitanjali Angmo, and others at the hospital, Union Health Minister Nadda said the government was positive about not registering cases against those who had protested peacefully at Jantar Mantar or participated in the July 20 ‘Sansad Chalo’ march.
Nadda also said the government had already agreed to discussions in Parliament on paper leaks and reforms to the examination system.

In addition, he said the Centre was positively considering suitable compensation for families of students who died by suicide following the recent NEET paper leak controversy.
Wangchuk said 65 Members of Parliament from different political parties had either visited him or signed letters urging him to end the fast.
The CJP, which spearheaded the agitation, welcomed Wangchuk’s decision but said its protest would continue until Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan resigned.
