We filed an urgent petition today because, had we been allowed to shift today, we could have gone to Medanta and then arrived at the protest site by tomorrow morning. But we knew they wouldn&#8217;t allow that. I am ready to represent Sonam Wangchuk, and I will definitely join the march tomorrow,&#8221; she said.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"12\"\/><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"14\"\/>Appealing to those planning to join the march, Angmo urged protesters to remain peaceful and vigilant.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"17\"\/>&#8220;To all the students and parents coming to join the march tomorrow, I would say: keep two things in mind. First, let us conduct this march in a completely peaceful manner. Second, remain vigilant against nefarious elements who might try to disrupt it. Let us stay alert and avoid falling into their traps. Attempts might be made to incite trouble or give the event a different complexion,&#8221; she said.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"19\"\/>She also said Wangchuk remained determined to continue his fast despite being admitted to hospital.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"22\"\/>&#8220;Sonam wanted to continue the fast exactly as he had been observing it previously. He intends to continue the fast he has been maintaining. They have been urging him to consume fluids, but he refused, although he is drinking water,&#8221; Angmo said.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"24\"\/>Earlier in the day, Angmo described the Centre&#8217;s concern for Wangchuk&#8217;s health as a &#8216;charade&#8217;, alleging that the government feared his participation in the proposed Parliament march over the alleged NEET-UG paper leak.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"27\"\/>&#8220;They said they brought him in because they were deeply concerned about his health, as it was declining. But these claims are incorrect. First of all, his health was not deteriorating at all. If you look at the reports from the evening prior, everything was absolutely normal; his potassium level was 4.3, and all other parameters were normal too,&#8221; she said.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"29\"\/>She claimed Wangchuk&#8217;s health had not deteriorated before he was taken to Safdarjung Hospital and alleged that authorities could have informed the family before shifting him.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"32\"\/>&#8220;If you were truly so concerned about his health, why did you send police personnel in plain clothes? Why did you so ruthlessly pick him up, put him on a stretcher, and take him away? You could have simply come to conduct a medical test and informed his family. That is the proper way to handle things in a democracy,&#8221; she said.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"34\"\/>Reiterating her allegation, Angmo said, &#8220;If you were genuinely concerned about his health, then this whole narrative about health concerns is nothing but a charade. <!-- -->They were simply afraid that if Sonam set out on his march, hundreds of thousands of people would join him\u2014not just in Delhi, but across the entire country\u2014and they were trying to prevent that.&#8221;<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"38\"\/>Angmo also alleged that Wangchuk was not being allowed to freely consult doctors of his choice and claimed the atmosphere at the hospital resembled the conditions during his detention in Jodhpur Jail following his arrest during the 2025 Ladakh protests.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"41\"\/>&#8220;He is not being allowed to meet his doctors. We want to consult our doctors, whom we are comfortable with. The police are constantly surveilling. When I am in the room with him, a constable accompanies me. The environment is similar to Jodhpur Jail. I was not allowed to carry my phone, and Sonam was not handed over his tablet. When we asked for orders, the police personnel had no written orders,&#8221; she alleged.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"43\"\/>The Delhi high court, however, refused to order Wangchuk&#8217;s transfer from Safdarjung Hospital, observing that the material placed before it did not indicate he was under illegal detention. <!-- -->The court noted that his wife, brother and other family members had unrestricted access to him and had been provided accommodation at the hospital.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"47\"\/>The court also referred to the earlier order directing daily medical monitoring and recorded the Centre&#8217;s submission that Wangchuk had been shifted to the government hospital because of his deteriorating medical condition. <span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"50\"\/>According to the medical opinion placed before the court, his sugar and sodium levels were below normal and his potassium level had fallen to a dangerously low level. <!-- -->The court noted that intravenous fluids had not been administered as Wangchuk had not consented to the treatment.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"54\"\/>Meanwhile, security has been intensified across the New Delhi district ahead of the Monsoon Session of Parliament and the Cockroach Janta Party&#8217;s proposed &#8216;Chalo Sansad&#8217; march on Monday. <span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"56\"\/>Delhi Police has deployed additional personnel, strengthened barricading and increased vehicle checks, saying no permission has been granted for the proposed march towards Parliament.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"58\"\/><\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a
