Sonam Wangchuk slams those claiming 'deal' with govt

Social activist Sonam Wangchuk on Friday strongly rejected allegations that he had struck a "deal" with the government to end his 26-day indefinite hunger strike, asking critics whether he still needed to "prove" his sincerity after nearly a month of fasting for justice against NEET-UG paper leak and other exam irregularities. He threw a counter-question after some people asked why he ended his fast, a grueling ordeal for the activist from Ladakh who went from the open space in central Delhi's Jantar Mantar to the fluorescent-lit corridors of a government hospital.In the video recorded from his hospital bed, Wangchuk shared the consequences of his long fast and also commented on the backlash.
"Friends, I am making this video with a bit of sadness, a bit of surprise, and a mixture of grief and anger," he said. "Physically fighting, quarreling, carrying out another strike within a strike, lying down on the ground - using whatever strength I had left in me on the 20th or 22nd day, I had to forcefully push my way out," Wangchuk said. He said the effect on his body has been catastrophic. "Muscles are gone, and irreversible damage to my organs and brain has reached almost the verge of happening," the activist said, adding he lost 11 kg during this period."Will I now have to get a character certificate from anyone regarding how pure my fast was?" he shot back. The activist rubbished insinuation of a backdoor political bargaining, and pointed out what he called the sheer absurdity of enduring nearly a month of starvation just to strike a deal with the government.

Earlier in the day, Wangchuk's wife, Gitanjali Angmo, had appealed to the public not to rush to judge his decision, saying the activist had made immense physical sacrifices for a cause larger than himself.
