NEW DELHI: (Jul 17) Filmmaker Kiran Rao has extended her support to activist Sonam Wangchuk amid his hunger strike and urged the government to “enter into a dialogue with the protestors”.

The activist has been on an indefinite hunger strike after joining the Cockroach Janata Party’s (CJP) protest demanding education minister Dharmendra Pradhan’s resignation over alleged irregularities in the NEET examination on June 28.

Rao shared a picture of Wangchuk on her Instagram handle on Thursday, which read “I support Sonam” and said it is distressing to “witness the complete silence” despite his hunger strike.
