Sonam Wangchuk, on a hunger strike, has announced a Parliament march on July 20. He stated that if the march fails, he will return as a ghost.
Activist Sonam Wangchuk has been on a hunger strike for the past several days. He is adamant about his demand for the resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan. Now, he has made a statement that could increase the concerns of the Modi government.
Sonam Wangchuk said, "I will stay alive until July 20 under any circumstances, so that I can march to the Parliament with all of you."
He further added, "If our march on July 20 is not successful, then I will come back as a ghost." Commenting on the video of his statement, the Cockroach Janta Party wrote in the caption that Sonam Wangchuk has not lost his sense of humor even in such a difficult time of his life.
Sonam Wangchuk has urged people to join the march in large numbers. He said, "I will ask you all to join in large numbers and take a small step, not just ask me to end my fast."
He asked people to confirm their participation in the march by giving a missed call. Wangchuk specifically appealed for people to bring their mothers with them to this march.
Wangchuk said, "The love a mother has for her children in her heart is not found in anyone else's heart. I would want mothers to lead this march. Let them take us to the Parliament."
He assured that if the march is successful and the issue reaches the right hands, he will be able to sleep peacefully and also break his fast.
Aam Aadmi Party convener and former Chief Minister of Delhi, Arvind Kejriwal, has also reacted to this matter. He said that Wangchuk has put his health at stake for the country and the future of the children.
Kejriwal demanded, "Prime Minister Narendra Modi should take the resignation of Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan and make Sonam Wangchuk the new Education Minister of the country."
The AAP convener also raised the issue of the NEET paper leak. He said that for a child, an exam is not just a piece of paper but a dream.
Sharing his experience, Kejriwal said, "I gave the IIT exam, papers did not leak then. Both my children also studied at IIT. Even in that era, papers did not leak, but now the situation has completely changed."
Expressing concern, he said that children's faith that they can move forward with hard work and ability is breaking.
