Twenty days without food, and Sonam Wangchuk is still cracking jokes.
Addressing supporters at Jantar Mantar in New Delhi on Friday, the activist said he intended to hold on until 20 July, when he plans to lead a march to Parliament. Then he added, with a straight face: "I will stay alive by any means until July 20 so that I can march to Parliament with all of you. And if our march doesn't succeed on July 20, then I'll come back as a ghost!"
The Cockroach Janta Party, which has been spearheading the protest, shared the remark on social media. "Sonam Wangchuk hasn't lost his sense of humour even during such a difficult time in his life. Let's march to Parliament!" it posted. In a separate post, the movement added: "India is awakening!"
