'Not in good shape but ...': Sonam Wangchuk refuses to end fast despite health concerns
Sonam Wangchuk continues his indefinite hunger strike for 19 days against alleged examination irregularities and the NEET paper leak.
Wangchuk urged supporters to join the scheduled march to Parliament on July 20 rather than asking him to break his fast.
He stated his condition is 'not in good shape, but not so bad' and that he can continue for 'several more days' as his heart and core health are functioning well.
A plea was filed in the Delhi High Court seeking to force-feed Wangchuk and shift him to a government hospital, citing risk of death within two days.
Cockroach Janata Party founder Abhijeet Dipke reported Wangchuk has lost 8.5 kg and is in 'immense pain' with muscle loss.
