Sonam Wangchuk rejects deal claims after ending fast

Climate activist Sonam Wangchuk on Friday defended his decision to end a 26-day hunger strike over the alleged NEET paper leak, rejecting claims he struck a deal with the government. In a video message, he said he lost 11 kg and risked irreversible organ damage, questioning why he must prove his sincerity. Wangchuk ended his fast at Medanta Hospital after receiving a written assurance from the Union Government, with ministers JP Nadda and Jitendra Singh present. He urged people to verify the background of critics before forming opinions.
