Maharashtra Congress and NCP (SP) leaders criticised the shifting of activist Sonam Wangchuk to Safdarjung Hospital after his health deteriorated during an indefinite hunger strike. They alleged the police action reflected an authoritarian mindset and suppression of democratic dissent

"Sonam Wangchuk arrived at our hospital around 7.40 am. He is somewhat weak due to prolonged fasting and is experiencing mild dehydration; otherwise, all his vital parameters are stable. He is being continuously examined and monitored, and his treatment is underway," Dr Bamba said
