Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah voices support for Sonam Wangchuk’s ongoing hunger strike, which he says has raised serious health concerns. Wangchuk is protesting alleged irregularities in the NEET examination and is demanding accountability. Multiple reports describe his condition as deteriorating after about 19 days of fasting, with significant weight loss and medical warnings about possible serious complications if the protest continues.
Abdullah urges the central government to take a humanitarian approach toward Wangchuk, and he compares the situation with how the previous UPA government engaged with activist Anna Hazare. He also says Wangchuk’s core demand—accountability related to NEET irregularities—is justified.
The reports also note that the Delhi High Court has directed daily medical examinations for Wangchuk, reflecting heightened judicial and medical monitoring of the hunger strike. The combined accounts focus on Abdullah’s appeal to the Centre, the health impact of the fasting, and the role of court-ordered monitoring as the protest continues.
