Climate activist and innovator Sonam Wangchuk has issued a message calling for support and more people to join the march to Parliament on Monday, July 20. In a letter from his “unlawful detention” in Safdarjung Hospital, Wangchuk described this movement as India’s “second freedom movement”.
“Second independence movement; India free of fear, India free of injustice,” Wangchuk wrote in a handwritten note shared by his wife.
Wangchuk, who went on an indefinite strike for 22 days, called for the resignation of Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan, along with the resignation of the Kokruch Janta Party.

On Saturday, Wangchuk was shifted to a hospital in Safdarjung after the Delhi High Court issued a direction to monitor the activist’s health as he continued his fast.
However, CJP founder Abhijit Debke claimed that Wangchuk was forcibly taken to hospital, alleging assault on the activist.
Debke, who returned from Boston last month, also announced an indefinite hunger strike, as he called the BJP-led government accountable.
