Sonam Wangchuk Calls Situation an ‘Undeclared Emergency’, Warns of Indefinite Fast Over CJP Protest Arrests

Climate activist Sonam Wangchuk has described the prevailing situation as an “undeclared emergency” and warned that he may launch an indefinite fast or undertake a padyatra if those arrested during the Cockroach Janata Party (CJP) protest are not released by tomorrow.

Wangchuk’s statement comes amid concerns over the arrests and the restrictions imposed in connection with the protest. He has called for the immediate release of the detained protesters and urged the authorities to address the matter without further escalation.

The CJP protest has drawn attention over demands concerning Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar and allegations surrounding the electoral process. The developments have also renewed discussion about the right to peaceful assembly and the authorities’ handling of protests.

Wangchuk has warned that he may resort to an indefinite fast or begin a padyatra if the arrested protesters are not released by the deadline. Such a move would add another dimension to the ongoing agitation over the arrests.

The situation is likely to remain under scrutiny as protesters and supporters await the authorities’ response to the demand for the release of those in custody.

Wangchuk’s proposed course of action will depend on whether the protesters are released by the deadline he has set.
