NEW DELHI/THIRUVANTHAPURAM: (Jul 20) AICC general secretary K C Venugopal on Monday launched a sharp attack on the BJP-led Centre over its handling of activist Sonam Wangchuk’s hunger strike, alleged irregularities in competitive examinations and the proposed Higher Education Bill, stating that the country was being governed by its “most authoritarian” government.
Extending complete solidarity with Wangchuk’s indefinite hunger strike, Venugopal alleged that the Centre had ignored the concerns raised by the protesters and failed to engage with them despite the fast continuing for nearly three weeks.
His remarks came two days after Delhi Police shifted activist Wangchuk to Safdarjung Hospital from the Jantar Mantar protest site in New Delhi after his health deteriorated on the 21st day of his indefinite hunger strike, citing medical advice and directions of the Delhi High Court.
