Make Parliament march a success: Sonam Wangchuk's first message from hospital

Activist Sonam Wangchuk has described his hospitalisation as an "illegal detention," in his first message to supporters since being removed from the site of his prolonged hunger strike at New Delhi's Jantar Mantar.He also urged them to make Cockroach Janta Party's planned march to Parliament on Monday, July 20, a success. He also termed the Cockroach Janta Party's ongoing campaign as "India’s 2nd Freedom Movement," calling for a "fear-free India" and an "injustice-free India." He relayed the message through his wife, Gitanjali J Angmo.The note was etched on a crumpled piece of paper, a photo of which was posted on Wangchuk's X handle. Referring to issues such as paper leaks, the central plank of his hunger strike and CJP's broader protest, he stressed the need for "freedom from injustice." He also appeared to draw a parallel between his "illegal detention" and the broader idea of freedom from fear.- EndsPublished On: Jul 19, 2026 09:52 IST
