I have lost faith in Safdarjung Government Hospital.
The hospital told us @Wangchuk66’s potassium had dropped to 2.9, describing it as alarming and life-threatening. Yet, in its public health bulletin, it conveniently omitted the actual number, referring only to "decreasing potassium levels." When after 10 hours and repeated requests, they allowed us to take samples of his blood at 10.30 pm, an independent laboratory test reported 3.5, well within the normal range.
Despite repeated requests, the hospital has refused to discharge him or allow us to shift him to a private hospital of our choice. With around 30 police personnel stationed on our floor and well over 100 across the hospital, our movement is severely restricted. It is not medical care. It is illegal detention.
If anything happens to Sonam, the hospital authorities and the government must bear full responsibility.
I have therefore moved the High Court and sought an urgent hearing today, praying for permission to shift Sonam before his health deteriorates further. No family should have to fight the system simply to choose where their loved one receives medical care.
Indian activist Sonam Wangchuk’s indefinite hunger strike has entered its 20th day, with the Ladakh-born educator losing more than 9 kilograms as he demands examination reforms and the resignation of a key Modi ally over alleged exam paper leaks.
DAY 8
Still Alive, though not kicking….
Some 7,000 people gathered at Jantar Mantar today from morning to evening. Leaders of various social and political movements spoke in support. A clear indication of how effective this movement is can be judged from the number of trolls in the comments below. Over the years I’ve seen that this number is directly proportional to the impact. I’ll be so sad & dejected the day they go missing. Thank you, my success-o-meter, for your hard work.

Dear @Wangchuk66 sir, thank you for supporting our cause. Let me assure you that I am very much Indian and CJP is the voice of every Indian youth who has been wronged by the system.
Happy to share with you the data of our followers. Thank you again for supporting Cockroaches!
IN PRINCIPLE UNDERSTANDING REACHED...
We made significant progress this evening in our talks with the Govt.
MHA, Apex & KDA leaders of Ladakh had a broad consensus on restoring democracy with a tailor made legislative body that will have executive, financial & law making powers and have safeguards under article 371 of the constitution. Elected leader of the legislative body will have overall control over the Chief Secretary and rest of bureaucracy. In due course Ladakh will be accorded full statehood when it has enough revenue of its own to support the operational expenses of salaries, pensions etc.
#Ladakh
After a long time had a free flowing chat with @Wangchuk66 without glancing at the scary clock every now and then to make the most of the fleeting 60 minutes as in jail!
Taking him for a health checkup as per the strong recommendations of our family doctor. He will be under medical observation for 36 hours in a good hospital!

Shame on Modi Govt
This is clear now that Central Govt had literally No Evidence to keep him inside the jail.
All the false propaganda against Sonam Wangchuck was getting exposed in SC each day.
Who will pay back for months of jail to this innocent man who tirelessly worked for India and its people ?
> Bro is Sonam Wangchuk
> Bro is a Scientist from Ladakh India
> Bro was protesting for statehood for Ladakh
> Bro was detained on 26 sep 2025 under NSA
> Bro’s detention was defended in court by SG Tushar Mehta, who argued that bro deserved detention because he said “us” and “them” while referring to the government.
> Bro stayed in jail for over 5 months
> Bro didn’t compromise with the government just to secure his release.
> Bro did nothing everyone knew that
> Bro is Finally getting released
> Bro’s final hearing was scheduled on 17 March. The government must have anticipated the ruling.
> It would have been a loss of face for the government if the Supreme Court had ordered his release and called the detention unauthorized.
> Now govt has ordered the authorities to release bro immediately.
> And it’s being portrayed as if the Government of India is doing something generous.
> Bro is a real Hero, Be like Bro 🫡
Deep down, everyone knew that Sonam Wangchuk was never a threat to the country. He is simply a citizen who has always worked for the betterment of society and brought pride to India through his social & scientific studies .
On international platforms, he has consistently praised & credited his country for his achievements. 🇮🇳
Here’s my latest interview on the status of @Wangchuk66’s detention with @vijaita of @the_hindu where I highlight how the entire country is praying for his release which is mandatory to coalesce the #Ladakh movement into a collaborative exercise between the #GovernmentOfIndia, people of #Ladakh and its leadership towards a glorious future!!

@barandbench SC should go by
Constitutional rights to peaceful protest & freedom of expression
v/s
Suppression by Draconian law, incarceration.
Interpretation of some statements could vary,but has to be seen in totality .
Release Wangchuk now.
When the #SGI/ #ASGI casually seek dates 7, 15, even 21 days away for no rhyme or reason at the #SupremeCourtofIndia, they are not just being insensitive, inhumane and cruel to @Wangchuk66, who is now in jail for 135 days. They are damaging the cause of nation-building.
If patriots are rewarded with jail, witch-hunts and punishment, how will it motivate youngsters to stay back and serve the nation?
Already in the last 10 years, over 1.6 million Indians have renounced citizenship, and millions more have left.
Let our actions inspire the youth to believe in our nation’s bright future, not fill their hearts with despair, despondency and hopelessness!!
May Justice prevail!
May Truth triumph!

#EnoughIsEnough
Centre asks for an adjournment in Sonam Wangchuk’s habeas corpus case:
ASG KM Nataraj: can we keep it next week? Next Monday?
Justice Aravind Kumar: what happened? Any progress? We made a suggestion on the last date (to reconsider his detention on health grounds).
Nataraj: he is getting best of the treatment.
Justice PB Varale: issues are there. You are also not denying. He is making complaints of health issues. On the last day we made a suggestion.
