The central government would be responsible "if anything happens" to Sonam Wangchuk, who has been on a hunger strike for 18 days, Trinamool Congress leader Saket Gokhale said on Wednesday in a letter to Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan.
He also urged Pradhan to open a dialogue with the CJP protesters.
In his letter, shared on X on Wednesday, Gokhale said Wangchuk is in an "extremely critical" condition and has lost more than eight kilograms since he began his hunger strike.
