New Delhi: Samajwadi Party MP Dimple Yadav has said that social activist Sonam Wangchuk told her he may conclude his ongoing hunger strike on July 20. The statement came after she met Wangchuk at Delhi’s Jantar Mantar, where he has been fasting over his demands.
The remark has sparked widespread discussion among supporters and observers, as no public announcement has yet been made by Sonam Wangchuk himself regarding the conclusion of his fast. During the interaction, some people present at the venue also appeared surprised by Dimple Yadav’s statement, adding to the speculation surrounding the future of the protest.
As of now, there has been no official confirmation from Sonam Wangchuk or his representatives that the hunger strike will end on July 20. In his recent public addresses, Wangchuk has continued to stress the importance of the proposed July 20 Parliament March, while maintaining that the movement will continue peacefully.
Wangchuk has been on an indefinite hunger strike at Jantar Mantar for several weeks, drawing support from political leaders, activists and members of civil society. His health remains a matter of concern, with doctors closely monitoring his condition as the protest continues.
Supporters are now awaiting an official statement from Sonam Wangchuk or his team to clarify whether the hunger strike will indeed conclude on July 20 or continue beyond the planned Parliament March.
