Activist Sonam Wangchuk's wife, Gitanjali J Angmo, on Thursday appealed to people not to rush to judge him for ending his 26-day hunger strike, saying he had paid a heavy physical price for a cause larger than himself and deserved compassion rather than criticism.
Her appeal came after Wangchuk ended his fast late on Thursday following assurances from the government on his key demands and repeated appeals by several MPs across party lines that he end the hunger strike and continue serving the nation.
