Sonam Wangchuk reveals CJP 'test' before NEET hunger strike, recalls pressure to quit
Sonam Wangchuk discloses he tested CJP leadership before his NEET hunger strike and later faced a 'take a break or exit' ultimatum.
Activist Sonam Wangchuk has offered a fresh account of the internal dynamics that shaped his recent hunger strike over the NEET examination issue, revealing that he deliberately put the leadership of the Cockroach Janata Party (CJP) through a 'test' before committing to the fast.
According to Wangchuk, the screening was a precondition for his participation, suggesting he wanted to gauge the resolve and seriousness of the party's leadership before aligning himself with the protest. The disclosure adds a new layer to the public narrative of the agitation, which had already drawn significant attention.
Wangchuk also recounted a pivotal moment during the strike when he was confronted with pressure to end the fast. He described it as a 'take a break or exit' situation, indicating that he was given a stark choice between suspending his protest or withdrawing entirely. The activist did not specify who issued this ultimatum or the exact circumstances surrounding it.
These revelations shed light on the strategic considerations and personal dilemmas behind the high-profile protest, which was aimed at demanding changes to the NEET examination process. Wangchuk's account suggests that the movement was not without internal friction and difficult decisions.
