New Delhi: Activist Sonam Wangchuk has ended his 26-day hunger strike after prolonged negotiations with the Centre, but the Cockroach Janta Party has made it clear that its agitation over alleged examination paper leaks is not over.

Wangchuk broke his fast at Medanta Hospital in Gurugram in the presence of Union ministers JP Nadda and Jitendra Singh, along with senior representatives of the Apex Body of Leh. His hunger strike had become a major rallying point for the student-led protest movement.

Wangchuk Cites Negotiations and Fear of Violence

Announcing his decision, Wangchuk said he had ended the fast after lengthy negotiations over several conditions. He also cited concerns about possible violence and appealed to supporters to ensure that demonstrations remained peaceful.

According to Wangchuk, 65 Members of Parliament from different political parties had either met him or signed letters requesting that he call off the hunger strike. He said he would explain the terms of the negotiations in a separate video.

PM Modi Wishes Wangchuk Speedy Recovery

Prime Minister Narendra Modi welcomed the development and wished Wangchuk a speedy recovery. He urged the activist to follow medical advice and regain the weight he had lost during the prolonged fast.

The Prime Minister also reiterated that the government was taking strict action against those involved in examination paper leaks.

Dipke Says Agitation Is Not Over

CJP founder Abhijeet Dipke expressed relief that Wangchuk had ended his fast and praised him for his courage and sacrifice.

However, Dipke said the peaceful protest at Delhi’s Jantar Mantar would continue until Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan resigned. He maintained that ending the hunger strike did not mean the broader movement had concluded.

Nationwide Protest Call Remains

The CJP also retained its call for peaceful demonstrations across the country. Protesters are demanding accountability over alleged leaks in competitive examinations, including NEET-UG, and wider reforms to protect the integrity of the examination system.

Wangchuk’s decision brought an end to the fast that began on June 28, but the central political dispute remains unresolved as CJP leaders continue to press for Pradhan’s resignation.
