'Shouldn't Test Sonam Wangchuk's Limits, Say Yes or No to His Demands': Anna Hazare's Appeal to Centre
Hazare said the government should talk with Wangchuk as his hunger strike entered day 21 and his health worsened, prompting hospital admission.
- On Saturday, activist Anna Hazare urged the Centre to hold talks with educationist Sonam Wangchuk, who was admitted to Safdarjung Hospital after his health deteriorated on the 21st day of his indefinite hunger strike.
- Wangchuk has been demanding the resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan over alleged irregularities in the NEET examination, with the protest continuing for 20 days before his hospital admission.
- "There is no harm in holding discussions," Hazare said, warning the government against "forceful action" or "pulling and dragging" and urging officials not to wait for a tragic outcome.
- Delhi Police removed Wangchuk from Jantar Mantar citing directions from the Delhi High Court, while security was intensified inside and around the hospital to regulate public movement.
- Notably, Hazare led a hunger strike in Delhi for the Lokpal Act in 2011 that rocked the UPA government, highlighting the potential for political friction surrounding the ongoing agitation.
