The Janata Party (BJP) has called for an agitation at Delhi’s Jantar Mantar to protest the NEET exam question paper leak. They demanded the resignation of India’s Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan. Hundreds of artists and writers along with various student and youth organizations have joined the movement. Sonam Wangchuk has now become the focal point of the movement. He is on hunger strike in sympathy with the students’ movement. The hunger strike entered its 20th day today. Sonam Wangchuk’s health is rapidly deteriorating. Citizens across the country are worried about his health. Sonam Wangchuk is a world-renowned environmentalist and educator. He also symbolizes the self-esteem and aspirations of the people of Ladakh. Indian government should have responded to his peaceful protest long ago. But it is a cry from the forest to expect such gentle sympathy only from a power-hungry stone-hearted government. We cannot afford to lose precious lives like Sonam Wangchuk. By fasting for so long, he exposed the heartlessness and insensitivity of those already in power. How can a person like Sonam Wangchuk be on hunger strike for so long that the government remains so apathetic and apathetic in responding to the common people’s movement? Sonamji’s life is now in dire straits. He succeeded in the cause for which he started the hunger strike despite the lack of government oversight. Now, in view of his health, let us all urge him to break his fast. For our future, for the future of India, he must live long among us.
