'Have a heart': Sonam Wangchuk's wife urges people to not judge him for breaking 26-day fast
Sonam Wangchuk broke his 26-day fast after midnight on July 25, 2026, in the presence of Union ministers JP Nadda and Jitendra Singh.
His wife, Gitanjali J Angmo, urged people not to judge him, citing he lost 11 kg and was in the ICU.
Wangchuk cited the government's written assurance and 65 opposition MPs' commitment to discuss exam system accountability in Parliament as reasons for ending the fast.
CJP convener Abhijeet Dipke hailed the decision but said protests demanding education minister Dharmendra Pradhan's resignation would continue.
Wangchuk's decision was partly prompted by the risk of 'possible violence in the country' according to his statement.
