CJP protest today LIVE updates: Wangchuk's 'character certificate' jibe at critics; 18 metro stations closed
Sonam Wangchuk reiterated there was no deal with the government; his priority was protecting student protesters from violence and legal action.
Wangchuk ended his 26-day hunger strike after the Centre provided written assurances and to prevent an imminent crackdown, citing fears of a repeat of September 24, 2025 violence in Ladakh.
Wangchuk dismissed criticism by asking why he needed a 'character certificate' for his commitment, having lost 11 kg and risking organ damage.
Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) held a second round of talks with the Centre, which gave written assurances on some demands; 18 metro stations in Delhi were closed on July 25.
The protest at Jantar Mantar continued with large crowds, including delegations from lawyers, farmer unions, and NGOs.
