Sonam Wangchuk

Wangchuk said he refused to end his fast without a written assurance that no legal action would be taken against peaceful protesters.

He announced the decision after Union Ministers J P Nadda and Jitendra Singh met him at Medanta Hospital and assured him of meeting his demands

CJP insists on Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan's resignation as protests spread across several states.

On the 26th day of his hunger strike, the activist appeals for non-violence as student protests continue, while his wife praises Gen Z protesters for their discipline and compassion.

The CJP is organizing the protest over police brutality against students during the July 20 protests in Delhi.

In his latest X post, Wangchuk assured he will halt the ongoing fast if the government fulfills the demands put forward.

Wangchuk entered the 25th day of his hunger strike on Wednesday.

"Our protests sent a clear message, whether in New York or London, San Jose or Dublin: India's students deserve to be treated with fairness and dignity," the group said in a statement.

Solicitor General Tushar Mehta said the government had no objection to Wangchuk being shifted to Medanta Hospital.

Many protesters said they had anticipated resistance but were determined to continue their demonstration.

The CJP said Union Minister JP Nadda has assured them that he would hold internal talks and requested for time to align with the government leadership on the demands.

Angmo has challenged a single judge's Sunday order which refused to interfere with the activist's ongoing treatment at Safdarjung Hospital.

He said his health parameters were normal and requested permission to leave the hospital, even if temporarily.
