‘They are not saints…’: Wangchuk says CJP founders have political ambitions, insists there’s nothing wrong with it
Wangchuk said the movement should stay a neutral pressure group and described a Parliament handoff plan that would have ended the fast, he said.
- Environmentalist Sonam Wangchuk recently revealed a failed plan to have Leader of the Opposition Rahul Gandhi break his hunger strike at Parliament, intended to end the protest by handing the issue to lawmakers.
- By the 15th or 16th day, uncertainty grew about whether the protest would succeed as momentum faded. "People were already looking for an exit," Wangchuk said, explaining the pressure to conclude.
- Wangchuk claimed they contacted the opposition but received no positive response. He said, "We did not feel that Rahul Gandhi supported this stage," noting Gandhi's presence could have amplified momentum.
- Regarding Cockroach Janta Party convenor Abhijeet Dipke and other young leaders, Wangchuk said he did not blame them for political ambitions. "They are not saints who want nothing for themselves," he said.
- Wangchuk urged the group to "Keep It Apolitical" to preserve public faith in the movement. They prepare for a new protest march in Delhi on September 5 over "unfulfilled promises" by the government.
