Jantar Mantar Protest Intensifies
Tension prevailed near Delhi's Jantar Mantar after activist Sonam Wangchuk's hunger strike was reportedly disrupted, prompting fellow activist Abhijit Deepke to announce an indefinite fast in protest.
Addressing supporters, Abhijit Deepke said the movement would continue despite the disruption of Wangchuk's protest. He asserted that ending one person's fast would not stop the larger campaign and vowed to carry forward the agitation through his own hunger strike.
Deepke also announced that the protesters would remain at Jantar Mantar and continue their demonstrations. He said the group plans to undertake a march to Parliament in the coming days to press their demands before the central government.
The protest site witnessed heightened security as authorities monitored the situation. Supporters of the movement gathered in large numbers, expressing solidarity with the activists and reiterating their commitment to continue the campaign.
The ongoing protest is expected to gain further momentum as organisers call for broader public participation. Officials are closely watching developments to maintain law and order while ensuring that demonstrations remain peaceful.
