Activist Sonam Wangchuk struck a defiant yet humorous note as his indefinite hunger strike entered its 20th day at Delhi's Jantar Mantar. Addressing supporters, Wangchuk vowed to stay alive until July 20 to join the planned march to Parliament, and joked that if the march failed, he would "come back as a ghost," drawing laughter from the crowd. Despite growing concerns over his health, Wangchuk said he remained mentally strong and reaffirmed his commitment to the protest against alleged irregularities in India's competitive examination system, including the NEET-UG 2026 paper leak controversy. The planned march coincides with the start of the Monsoon Session of Parliament. Watch the full report for the latest updates on Sonam Wangchuk's protest and health condition.
