Sonam Wangchuk, the renowned social activist, has persisted with his hunger strike for nineteen days. Although displaying signs of health decline, he states that his condition is not critical and refuses to end his fast. Cockroach Janata Party founder Abhijeet Dipke has claimed that Wangchuk has shed 8.5 kg, resulting in severe physical pain and a noticeable loss of muscle mass, and a petition has been filed in the Delhi High Court seeking immediate medical intervention and force-feeding to save his life.

Wangchuk has urged the public and his supporters to join a march to Parliament scheduled for July 20, promoting this collective action as a more effective form of protest. The hunger strike aims to spotlight government accountability and prompt action on the issues Wangchuk advocates.
