Delhi News | Sonam Wangchuk Says Will End Fast If Centre Spares Students From Legal Action

Activist Sonam Wangchuk has said he is ready to end his hunger strike today if the government assured him that no legal action would be taken against the young protesters demanding accountability over the NEET paper leak. In absence of such an assurance, he stressed he would be forced to continue his fast indefinitely. "I respectfully request an unequivocal assurance from the government that none of the young protesters will face any punitive or retaliatory legal action for participating in the movement," he said in a letter to Union ministers JP Nadda and Jitendra Singh. Wangchuk further said the protesters were only raising their voices for a fair and accountable education system.
