Govt's first reaction to Sonam Wangchuk hunger strike: 'Assistance based on doctor report can be given'
The Indian government confirmed that it is monitoring activist Sonam Wangchuk's health during his hunger strike, which began on June 28, as the Delhi High Court mandated daily health checks. Solicitor General Tushar Mehta stated that medical assistance would be provided based on doctors' reports, marking the government's first formal acknowledgment of Wangchuk's protest. Opposition leaders and public figures have expressed support for Wangchuk, who is demanding the resignation of a senior cabinet minister.
