JAMMU, July 16: Shri Ram Sena (SRS), Jammu & Kashmir UT President Rajiv Mahajan today expressed deep concern over the prolonged hunger strike of renowned Ladakhi social activist and innovator Sonam Wangchuk, urging him to end his fast in the interest of his health.
In a press statement issued here today, Mahajan said that Wangchuk’s prolonged fast has become a matter of serious concern, and if it continues, it could pose a grave risk to his life.
“I respectfully appeal to Sonam Wangchuk Ji that he has successfully conveyed his message and concerns to the nation. In the interest of his health and well-being, he should now end his hunger strike and resume a normal diet. India cannot afford to lose such a talented innovator and social reformer who has made significant contributions to the development of Ladakh and inspired countless people through his work,” Mahajan said.
He added that while peaceful democratic protests are an important part of the country’s democratic framework, the life and health of individuals working for society must be protected. Mahajan expressed hope that the concerned authorities would engage in meaningful dialogue to address the issues raised by Wangchuk in a constructive and peaceful manner.
