Sonam Wangchuk said that now women will start the fast and after that it will be taken forward with others. This fast will continue until their demands are met. The movement is going on for including Ladakh in the Sixth Schedule and giving it statehood and other demands. In this context, Wangchuk kept a fast for 21 days. His fast, which started on March 6, ended on March 26. During this time he got support from people from all over the country.

Sonam Wangchuk was quoted as saying by news agency PTI , “The first phase of the hunger strike is ending today but this is not the end of the agitation.”.

Wangchuk, who is also an education reformist, told the news agency that the end of the hunger strike is the beginning of the new phase of the ongoing agitation.

“We will continue our struggle (in support of our demands). The gathering of 10,000 people at the venue and participation of over 60,000 others over the past 20 days are a testimony of the people’s aspirations,” he said.


At the same time, in Kargil also, a fast is being conducted by the Kargil Democratic Alliance. There too a large number of people are joining the fast. After Sonam Wangchuk, now women representatives of Buddhist, Muslim (Shia, Sunni) and Christian organizations are going to start a fast in Leh.

Prakash Raj said that this movement is not just for Ladakh, not just for Sonam Wangchuk, but it is for the interest of the entire country.
