Activist Sonam Wangchuk has responded to criticism after ending his 26-day hunger strike linked to the NEET paper leak protests. In a video message, Wangchuk rejected allegations that he had reached a deal with the Centre, saying his decision followed government assurances on several demands raised during the agitation. He urged people to watch his full explanation before forming opinions, while reiterating the sacrifices made during the fast. His remarks come as the Citizens for Justice Platform (CJP) continues its protest, maintaining that Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan's resignation remains a key demand.
