Social activist Sonam Wangchuk has said that he will be discharged today from a private hospital in Haryana.
The massive protest that began on June 20 at Delhi’s Jantar Mantar, under the banner of the Cockroach Party (CJP), demanding that Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan resign for taking responsibility for the NEET exam question paper leak, has erupted across the country.
Meanwhile, in support of the CJP, social activist Sonam Wangchuk had been on a hunger strike for 26 days starting June 28. Following this, as his health deteriorated, he was admitted to the hospital.
Following this, after Union ministers met him in person and assured that the CJP’s demands would be fulfilled, Sonam Wangchuk ended his hunger strike.
Meanwhile, after Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan resigned from his post last Saturday, the CJP withdrew its protest.
In this situation, Sonam Wangchuk has released a video saying that he is about to be discharged from the Haryana hospital.
In it, he said:
“Finally, the day has come for me to return home from this hospital. I am feeling much better now. I am gradually eating food and regaining my physical strength.
Before leaving here and reaching my hometown of Ladakh, I will go to Rajghat and pay tribute to Gandhi.
I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to everyone who raised their voice and led a movement. We have won,” he said.
