Activist Sonam Wangchuk has responded to criticism over his decision to end the 26-day hunger strike he held in support of students protesting the alleged NEET paper leak. In a video message posted on X on Friday, Wangchuk rejected claims that he had reached any agreement with the government. He said he should not have to prove that his protest was genuine.
Sharing the video, he wrote, “AFTER 26 DAYS OF HUNGER DO I NEED TO PROVE MY SINCERITY!!!” He also asked people to watch the full 22-minute video on his YouTube channel for more context.
In the video, Wangchuk questioned why his decision to end the fast had triggered speculation about political pressure or a secret deal.
“Do I need a character certificate to prove that my hunger strike was genuine? Ever since I ended the fast, people have been asking who influenced my decision, why I ended it through certain ministers and not others, and what deal was made. Do I really have to answer all these questions?” he said.
