Climate activist Sonam Wangchuk has pledged to continue his indefinite hunger strike until July 20, despite doctors warning that his health has become critical after 20 days without food. Addressing supporters, Wangchuk said he would “stay alive till July 20 at any cost” to lead the planned Parliament march, adding in a light-hearted remark that he would “return as a ghost” if the movement failed. The protest, backed by the Cockroach Janta Party, demands accountability over alleged examination irregularities and broader reforms. Support for Wangchuk continues to grow as concerns over his deteriorating health intensify. (PC: PTI)
