Gitanjali Angmo, wife of activist Sonam Wangchuk, says she will lead the planned “Chalo Sansad” march to Parliament on his behalf. Both reports state that Wangchuk remains committed to continuing his indefinite hunger strike and is currently observing it while in hospital care. The Times of India reports that Wangchuk is in Safdarjung Hospital following being moved there. They also note that the Delhi High Court does not order his immediate transfer to a private facility.
Angmo’s statements include calls for protesters to stay peaceful and to be vigilant against disruptions. Ahead of the march, security has been increased across New Delhi, according to the reports. The overall plans described by the outlets centre on Angmo representing Wangchuk during the protest while his hunger strike continues, alongside heightened security measures and public messaging on maintaining order during the march.
