Gitanjali said the cops have been deciding who “may or may not meet him”.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

NEW DELHI: Gitanjali J Angmo, Sonam Wangchuk<\/a>‘s wife, claimed the activist has been under constant vigil, saying “police are everywhere”, be it at the reception, in the lifts or outside the ICU.She said the cops have been deciding who “may or may not meet him”, questioning whether the authorities were defying the court’s order on his detention.“At both Safdarjung and now Medanta, police are everywhere. At the main gate. The reception. The lifts. Outside @Wangchuk66\u2019s ICU. They decide who may or may not meet him. If the Court has clarified that he is not under detention, then under what authority is this happening?” Gitanjali wrote on X.She further wrote: “In an enlightened democracy, is the role of the police to protect citizens and uphold the law, or to control citizens on behalf of those in power? These are questions every Indian should be asking.”Meanwhile, Sonam Wangchuk, hours after he ended his 26-day hunger strike in the presence of Union ministers JP Nadda and Jitendra Singh, said he made the decision only after he got assurances from the govt and MPs across party lines that his demands for exam reforms and no action against peaceful protesters would be met.In a video posted on X early Friday, Wangchuk said he extended his fast by two days as negotiations with the Centre were under way and he finally got a written assurance.\u201cEnd of hunger… Beginning of accountability,\u201d Wangchuk posted on X, sharing a video explaining his decision to end the hunger strike. \u201cNegotiations were on for these assurances since the last two days, for which I had to extend my hunger strike. I could have extended it further if required,\u201d he said.After Wangchuk broke his fast, Cockroach Janta Party founder Abhijeet Dipke posted on X: \u201cWe are relieved and grateful that Sonam sir has ended his hunger strike after 26 days. Thank you, sir, for your extraordinary courage and sacrifice. By putting your own life on the line, you awakened the conscience of an entire nation. Your life is far too precious to this country. The Cockroach Janta Party\u2019s peaceful protest at Jantar Mantar will continue until Dharmendra Pradhan resigns.\u201dWangchuk said in his post that he ended the fast after getting assurance from the government and MPs of all political parties that the issue of accountability in the \u2018failing\u2019 examination system would be discussed in Parliament.The engineer and climate activist broke his fast with juice a little after 12.30 am Friday and followed it up with a bowl of chicken soup as part of the initial phase of nutritional rehabilitation, according to sources in Medanta.\u201cAfter 26 days, this tastes very good, but hunger doesn\u2019t taste bad either. My doctors here have been very, very kind,\u201d he said from his hospital bed, surrounded by doctors, the ministers and his wife Gitanjali J Angmo.He said 65 MPs from different political parties had extended support to his campaign and that he insisted on a written commitment after two days of discussions with the Centre.\u201cBoth the ruling party and MPs from the opposition have assured me their discussions will happen on thefloor of Parliament regarding reforms in the examination system like NEET and others, and that we will also be discussing the accountability of such lapses. And that we will make sure such things never happen\u2026 You will take accountability in the ministry with the minister also as a responsibility, and I\u2019m sure you are already considering.And with these assurances, I\u2019m touched and grateful to govt, and I want to appeal to the protesting students to maintain utmost peace. To express their feelings is a legitimate thing, but I do not approve violence of any kind, and allowing any antisocial elements to take advantage of this is not acceptable to me. It should be a genuine demand by genuinely concerned people, in this case youngsters. Sowith that being fulfilled, I’m grateful and I’ll be happy to break my fast,\u201d he says in the video.<\/div>\n
