Student leader Shubham Rewad's indefinite hunger strike has entered its 14th day. He has now given up water and medical treatment, making his condition extremely critical.
This fast is being held mainly for two major demands. The first demand is to establish a 'Rajasthani Language Department' at Rajasthan University.
The second major demand is to restore the student union elections. Shubham Rewad is on an indefinite fast for these demands.
Shubham Rewad has been on a continuous hunger strike for the past 14 days. He is currently admitted to SMS Hospital in Jaipur, where his struggle continues.
The movement has become even more serious in the last 24 hours, as Shubham has completely given up water along with food.
Furthermore, he has flatly refused to take any kind of medical treatment, which has made his health condition even more alarming.
Due to the 14-day fast, boycott of drips and drugs, and now the renunciation of water, Shubham Rewad's health is in a very serious condition.
A team of doctors is constantly monitoring his vitals and ketone levels.
According to the physicians, this situation without treatment and water could prove fatal within a few hours. Despite these warnings, Shubham Rewad's resolve remains firm.
Following this harsh decision by Shubham Rewad, there is significant outrage among the youth and the student community across Rajasthan.
In light of this situation, security arrangements have been tightened outside SMS Hospital in Jaipur and on the university campus.
Support from student organizations from different parts of the state is continuously growing. Student organizations from cities like Suratgarh, Bikaner, Jodhpur, and Sikar have come forward in support of this movement.
Student representatives have issued a warning to the government. They have stated that this insensitivity and stubbornness of the government could take the form of a major public outrage at any time.
They have also made it clear that if any harm comes to Shubham Rewad's life, the entire moral and legal responsibility will lie with the state government and the administration.
