Climate activist Sonam Wangchuk continues an ongoing hunger strike that is now in its 20th day, refusing to call it off. Reporting from both outlets says Wangchuk urges public support and calls for people to join a planned protest march to India’s parliament on 20 July. According to Mint, he frames his decision in terms of timing, stating he will “stay alive till 20 July at any cost,” and maintains that he will not stop the fast despite the health risks involved. The BBC also reports that Wangchuk refuses to end the hunger strike and emphasizes his appeal for others to join the march, indicating the protest’s schedule remains a central focus of his demands. The two accounts align on the duration of the hunger strike, his refusal to end it before 20 July, and the invitation to participate in the parliamentary march that day. Both sources present the situation as an ongoing protest action rather than a resolution, with Wangchuk’s stated deadline tied to the planned demonstration.
