“abhi mein zinda hu, tension mat lo”From the report
It's day 10 of Mr. Sonam Panchuk's hunger strike. Can you tell us his health status right now? How much weight he has lost? What are his vitals looking like? So I'm a bit concerned about his health because he has lost almost 7 kg weight as of today. And his blood pressure is 102 to 62. So that is also quite low. And his sugar level is also on 63, 64. Ideally, it should be around 100. So his health is worsening every day. And you can see him physically. Physically, he has gotten really weak. Even if he has to go to the washroom, it's taking huge effort for him. It's causing him great pain. Despite of that, I have been asking him, sir, how are you doing? He's like, abhi mein zinda hu, tension mat lo. Every morning when I wake up next to him, he says, abhi jeet mein, abhi mein zinda hu, tension mat lo. So yeah, he's still in high spirits and I don't know how he's still so graceful and smiling and just doing what he's doing right now. We tried to speak to him also but he's low on energy. Have you guys asked him to stop his hunger strike? because a lot of our viewers are also saying that he's old, he's also a very renowned Indian educator, innovator and his health should not be put at risk. So have you been asking him to stop this hunger strike because the government is clearly not listening. I have been doing that every day. I have been saying that, sir, please call off your hunger strike. We will continue this protest. For that, you don't need to go on a hunger strike. Just call off your hunger strike. We need you. But he's saying, don't worry about me. I can go on for so many days, so don't worry about me. you just keep doing what you're doing and let me be on hunger strike. But we have been requesting because all of us are concerned about him.
