Opposition MPs Urge Sonam Wangchuk to End Hunger Strike, Say 'India Needs You in Service'

Opposition Appeals to Wangchuk

A group of Opposition MPs urged Sonam Wangchuk to call off his hunger strike, expressing concern over his health while acknowledging the issues he has raised.

In a joint appeal, they said, "India needs you, not in suffering, but in service," urging him to continue contributing to public life through peaceful engagement.

Support for His Concerns

The MPs said they supported Wangchuk's demands for dialogue and attention to issues concerning Ladakh.

According to the Opposition leaders, these concerns deserve discussion through democratic and constitutional processes.

Call for Dialogue

The legislators appealed to the Central Government to engage constructively with Wangchuk and his supporters, arguing that meaningful discussions would be a better way to address the issues than a prolonged hunger strike.

Wangchuk's Protest

Sonam Wangchuk has been on a hunger strike as part of his campaign seeking constitutional safeguards and other measures for Ladakh.

His protest has drawn support from civil society organisations, students, and several political leaders, while also prompting calls for negotiations.

Looking Ahead

Attention will now focus on whether the appeal from Opposition MPs influences Wangchuk's decision and whether fresh talks between the protesters and the government are initiated to resolve the ongoing impasse.
