The appeal came as a delegation of Opposition MPs prepared to meet Wangchuk at Gurugram’s Medanta Hospital to persuade him to end his fast. NEW DELHI: The Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) on Wednesday appealed to climate activist Sonam Wangchuk to end his indefinite hunger strike, saying his health was too important while assuring him that the movement over alleged examination irregularities would continue until its demands were met.CJP founder Abhijeet Dipke urged Wangchuk to call off his 25-day fast, saying the campaign for examination reforms would not lose momentum.”We request @Wangchuk66 sir to end his hunger strike. The country needs him, and his life is far too precious to be put at further risk. The peaceful protest at Jantar Mantar will continue until our demands are met,” Dipke said.In a post on X, the organisation reiterated its appeal, writing: “CJP’s Request To Sonam Sir, Your sacrifice has inspired a generation.
