The 59-year-old reformer joined the Cockroach Janta Party's 24-day protest against examination paper leaks and demanded the resignation of Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan along with stronger accountability measures.
Doctors monitoring Wangchuk's condition reported his blood pressure at 104/66 mm Hg and stated that he has been experiencing extreme weakness since beginning the hunger strike on June 28. The protest began after the group issued a deadline to the government over their demands.
Supporters, including AAP MP Sanjay Singh, have called for immediate action and expressed support for the movement ahead of the planned July 20 march to Parliament.
The protest group continues to seek government intervention, while critics have raised questions over the group's commitment amid the absence of any official response from authorities.
Wangchuk's declining health during the ongoing hunger strike has intensified attention on demands for examination reforms, transparency, and accountability in the education system.
