Climate activist Sonam Wangchuk has described the planned July 20 "Chalo Sansad" march as India's "second freedom movement," urging citizens to peacefully join the protest despite being under hospital detention in Delhi. In a message shared from Safdarjung Hospital, he called for "freedom from fear" and "freedom from injustice," emphasizing democratic rights and non-violent resistance. Wangchuk's appeal comes amid his prolonged hunger strike and growing public concern over his health. The movement has drawn support from students, civil society groups, and several political leaders, intensifying pressure on the government to engage in dialogue with protesters. (PC: Instagram)
