CJP’s Delhi protest enters 12th day, Wangchuk’s health deteriorates
New Delhi: The Cockroach Janata Party (CJP) protest at New Delhi’s Jantar Mantar entered its 12th day on Wednesday as activist Sonam Wangchuk’s blood sugar level dropped due to his continued hunger strike.
According to Kashmir Media Service, organisers said Wangchuk’s blood pressure was 117/60, oxygen saturation 96, pulse 92, while blood sugar fell to 66, below normal range.
CJP spokesperson Ashutosh Ranka warned that Indian Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan would be responsible if anything happened to him.
CJP founder Abhijeet Dipke intensified attacks on the government over examination irregularities and its response. Reacting to BJP president Nitin Nabin’s “virus” remark, Dipke said, “We are not a virus. We are the vaccine against the virus, Dharmendra Pradhan.” He alleged recent paper leaks, including from a Jaipur college in the Rajasthan Paramedical Council exam, and said the movement would also raise issues like SIR of electoral rolls.
Dipke claimed police were restricting protesters while not acting against those involved in paper leaks. “We are going to stay here. One person is risking his life; what else do you expect us to do?” he said.
