Activist Sonam Wangchuk has refused to end his indefinite hunger strike, saying, "Don't ask me to end my fast. Join the July 20 Parliament march instead." On the 18th day of his fast, Wangchuk urged supporters to participate in the Cockroach Janta Party's (CJP) "Chalo Sansad" march, saying it would send a stronger message to the government. He said medical tests, including an ECG, showed no immediate health risk despite weakness and muscle loss. Calling the march a "real lesson in democracy and political science," Wangchuk also invited students and educational institutions to take part. (PC: India Today)
