Congress leader Sachin Pilot has slammed the government for removing activist Sonam Wangchuk from Delhi’s Jantar Mantar protest site, calling it a “completely flawed policy by the government”.
“Sonam Wangchuk has been fasting for nearly 20 days, giving up food to strike for a critical issue, the future of our youth, and the resignation of the Education Minister. Yet, the government chose not to engage in any dialogue, initiate a discussion, or even acknowledge the matter,” he said.
Pilot added, “Now, seeing the growing national impact and mounting public pressure, they are forcibly shifting him to a hospital, solely to evade accountability. It would have been far better if the government had initiated a dialogue and met their demands. Forcibly removing him and shifting him to the hospital clearly reveals that the government is under immense pressure. Discontent is peaking, and taking him to the hospital by force will only fuel public outrage instead of suppressing it.”
