“He's still smiling, he's still waving to his supporters, but we know that he's still very weak physically.”From the report
This video should reach every Indian. I'm going to show you today how weak Mr. Sonam Vangchuk has got on day 19 of his hunger strike. You can see that he needs multiple people to support him just to walk. It's around 8 am in the morning at Chantar Mantar and he was going to the washroom. He says that though he is physically weak, he is mentally very strong and he is going to continue his hunger strike. He can continue his hunger strike for many many days now. He has lost muscle mass. You can see that he has lost more than 8.5 kgs of weight. His bones are showing and still there has been no response from the government. Still the government has not said a word on this hunger strike. You might not agree with the Cockroach and the Party but one has to be insensitive to not care about this 59 year old man who happens to be one of India's most renowned innovators and educators. He's still smiling, he's still waving to his supporters, but we know that he's still very weak physically.
