The health of an elderly, cancer-stricken farmer who is taking part in a hunger strike in north India has worsened after he rejected calls by the Narendra Modi government to end his protest.
Doctors have advised Jagjit Singh Dallewal, 68, who has been on a hunger strike for nearly a month and a half at a makeshift tent city in the Khanauri area of Punjab, be admitted to an intensive care unit after he collapsed on Saturday while addressing farmer protesters.
