Sonam Wangchuk hunger strike LIVE: ‘Hubaiians tried to attack’ Jantar Mantar activist, says CJP’s Abhijeet Dipke | Today’s news
Sonam Wangchuk’s hunger strike LIVE: Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) founder president Abhijeet Dipke alleged that activist Sonam Wangchuk, who is on hunger strike, was attacked at Jantar Mantar on Friday evening.
“Goons tried to attack Sonam sir at Jantar Mantar. An object was thrown at him but fortunately he was not injured,” Dipke said, adding, “If anything happens to Sonam sir, the government will be held responsible as there is a clear plan to eliminate the peaceful protest at Jantar Mantar.”
“There have been many incidents today where people have rioted but the police have not responded for hours. By continuing this, they are allowing attempts to disrupt what remained a peaceful protest,” Dipke wrote in X late Friday.
The incident was reported just days before Sonam Wangchuk and the CJP plan to hold a peaceful protest march to Parliament on July 20.
Several opposition groups have supported Sonam Wangchuk, who has been on hunger strike for the past 21 days. Wangchuk and the CJP are demanding the resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan and the Center’s responsibility for the alleged NEET ‘paper leak’.
