Sonam Wangchuks Fight Is Our Fight, Writes Author R Raj Rao
Sonam Wangchuk is on a hunger strike at Delhi's Jantar Mantar for nearly 20 days, demanding Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan's resignation.
He was arrested under the National Security Act in September 2024 for demanding statehood for Ladakh and jailed for six months.
Wangchuk's fast has drawn support from public figures like Arvind Kejriwal, Vir Sanghvi, and Aamir Khan, while critics like Tavleen Singh and Rajat Sethi opposed it.
The Delhi High Court directed authorities to monitor Wangchuk's health and provide medical aid if his condition worsens.
