                                    <content:encoded><![CDATA[<a href="https://english.dainikjagranmpcg.com/politics/6a45117298491/article-20877"><img src="https://english.dainikjagranmpcg.com/media/400/2026-07/jantar-mantar-protest-enters-day-12-as-sonam-wangchuk’s-health-deteriorates-during-hunger-strike.jpg" alt=""></a><br /><p class="MsoNormal">The demonstration, being held under the banner of the Cockroach Janata Party (CJP), is centred on demands related to changes in the education system and calls for the resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan. The protest has drawn students, activists and supporters from different parts of the country over the past several days.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">According to information shared by the organisers, Wangchuk is currently on the fourth day of his hunger strike. They claimed that he has lost weight since beginning the fast and that his blood pressure has been steadily declining. Medical professionals monitoring his condition are conducting regular health checks, including blood pressure, blood sugar and oxygen level assessments.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Organisers said updates regarding Wangchuk’s health would continue to be released as the protest progresses. While no official medical bulletin from an independent authority was immediately available, concerns about his condition have become a central focus of the ongoing agitation.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Attention has also shifted to other participants involved in the hunger strike. Protest organisers expressed particular concern about a student identified as Anish, who has reportedly been fasting for seven days. They said his energy levels have fallen significantly and that his health condition remains a matter of concern.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Abhijeet Deepke, identified by organisers as the founder of the Cockroach Janata Party, urged authorities to engage with the concerns being raised by protesters. He argued that the issues highlighted by students and young participants should receive greater attention and called for a response from the government.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The protest site at Jantar Mantar continued to witness gatherings of supporters throughout the day. Participants addressed crowds from the stage, while volunteers appealed to visitors and citizens to support the movement. Demonstrators described the campaign as an effort to push for reforms that they believe are necessary for the future of education and public policy.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Supporters arriving at the venue included students, social activists and representatives from various groups. Many participants said the movement extends beyond individual demands and reflects broader concerns about education, opportunities for young people and public accountability.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Jantar Mantar has long served as a focal point for public demonstrations in the national capital, and the current protest has added to a series of ongoing debates around education policy and youth participation in public discourse. The presence of Wangchuk, who is known for his work in education and sustainable development, has further increased public attention on the agitation.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Despite growing concerns over the health of hunger strikers, organisers indicated that the protest would continue. They maintained that the agitation would remain peaceful and would not be withdrawn unless meaningful action is taken on their demands.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">No official response from the Union Education Ministry regarding the specific demands raised at the protest was immediately available at the time of reporting. Further developments are expected as authorities monitor the situation and protesters continue their demonstration.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">With health concerns becoming increasingly prominent, attention is now focused on whether discussions between the organisers and government representatives will take place in the coming days.</p>]]></content:encoded>
