New Delhi: Activist Sonam Wangchuk has ended his 26‑day hunger strike on Friday in the presence of Union Ministers J.P. Nadda and Jitendra Singh, doctors, family members and supporters.

Wangchuk expressed gratitude as he broke his fast. He said that with that being fulfilled, I am grateful, and I’ll be happy to break my fast. Thank you, before sipping liquid offered by medical staff and accepting a ceremonial scarf.

He acknowledged the presence of leaders from the Apex Body of Ladakh and the Kargil Democratic Alliance (KDA), thanking them for travelling from Ladakh to support him. Family members blessed him as he sat upright with assistance, while doctors confirmed his condition was stable.

Wangchuk in his twitter X said that just now in the presence of Union Ministers JP Nadda & Dr. Jitendra Singh and the senior leaders of Apex Body of Leh Ladakh I finally broke my fast after 26 days. Earlier 65 MPs from different political parties had visited or signed letters urging me to break the fast. This was done after a long negotiation on various conditions and in view of possible violence in the country, he said. I will explain the conditions in detail in a separate video very soon. I urge you all to stay very vigilant about not allowing violence of any kind anywhere. The activist also thanked his family, describing them as a source of strength and support throughout the prolonged fast.
