<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\nNEW DELHI: Activist Sonam Wangchuk<\/a> is trying to exercise his right to seek discharge from Safdarjung Hospital and return to Jantar Mantar to continue his agitation, activist Saurav Das said on Saturday.Members of Sonam Wangchuk’s team said, asserting that the planned “Chalo Sansad” march on the opening day of Parliament’s Monsoon Session remains on course.“Sonam Wangchuk is trying to exercise his right to get discharge from hospital. He cannot be kept there against his wishes. He wants to be back at Jantar Mantar among the people and continue this fight,” activist Saurav Das said.Reiterating that the agitation would continue despite Wangchuk\u2019s hospitalisation, Das said, “#ChaloSansad, Sonam and his team will try his best to come by 20.”The remarks came hours after Delhi Police<\/a> shifted Wangchuk to Safdarjung Hospital following a deterioration in his health on the 21st day of his indefinite hunger strike at Jantar Mantar.Wangchuk has been protesting over alleged irregularities in the NEET examination and demanding accountability from the Centre.As news of Wangchuk\u2019s removal from the protest site spread, spontaneous demonstrations erupted in several cities across the country.Protest gatherings were reported from Hyderabad, Ahilya Nagar, Mumbai and Nagpur, with supporters accusing the government of attempting to suppress a peaceful movement.Members of the Cockroach Janata Party (CJP), which is spearheading the agitation, said more protests would be organised in the coming days.The outfit has also announced a march to Parliament on Monday, coinciding with the start of the Monsoon Session.The developments followed dramatic scenes at Jantar Mantar earlier in the day, when police and medical teams reached the protest site for Wangchuk\u2019s court-mandated health assessment.According to Delhi Police, Wangchuk was taken to hospital on medical advice after doctors found signs of weakness and dehydration resulting from his prolonged fast.Safdarjung Hospital Medical Superintendent Dr Charu Bamba later said Wangchuk was stable but weak and mildly dehydrated.The police action triggered sharp reactions from opposition leaders and student groups, many of whom accused the Centre of stifling dissent.Shortly after Wangchuk was shifted to hospital, CJP founder Abhijeet Dipke announced that he would begin an indefinite hunger strike and vowed to continue the movement.Despite uncertainty over permissions for the proposed Parliament march and heightened security arrangements in the capital ahead of the Monsoon Session, Wangchuk\u2019s supporters have insisted that the protest will continue.With Wangchuk under medical observation and the call for “Chalo Sansad” still in place, the confrontation between protesters and authorities is set to intensify in the coming days.<\/div>\n
