Haryana Police on Wednesday (July 22, 2026) stopped a 15-member MP delegation from the INDIA bloc, outside the Medanta Hospital, Gurugram as they reached there to meet activist Sonam Wangchuk, who has been on an indefinite hunger strike. The Haryana Police said as per hospital authorities only those with blood relation to Mr. Wangchuk are allowed.
Following this, the MPs proceeded to sit outside the hospital gate, as they continued to argue with the police. Wangchuk has been on an indefinite hunger strike since June 28 after joining the Cockroach Janta Party-led agitation demanding accountability over alleged irregularities in competitive examinations, reforms in the education system and the resignation of Mr. Pradhan.
He is currently admitted to the Medanta Hospital after being shifted from the Safdarjung Hospital following a Delhi High Court order. Earlier in the day, Mr. Wangchuk said he would end his indefinite hunger strike if the Centre gives an unequivocal assurance that no punitive or retaliatory action would be taken against students and youth who participated in the protest against alleged examination irregularities.
