Hunger Strike

A lot of media emphasis has been given on the hunger strike by Mr Sonam Wangchuk. As I write this blog it's been 21 days since his hunger strike and this morning he has been moved to a hospital by the Delhi police.

I admire his self less and his determination to go on a 21 days ( and counting) hunger strike over the leak of NEET exam papers and his ( ours) demand for the resignation of the Education Minister.

I saw many vlogs about the hunger strike conducted by Mahatma Gandhi. But this strike can never be compared to the strike by Gandhi, because, when the Mahatma was on a hunger strike the English government came for a negotiation which is missing in today's government.

As per an article new minute on whether the govt can force - feed a hunger striker  "The short answer is that Indian law does not provide a simple yes or no. Courts have consistently recognised hunger strikes as a legitimate form of democratic dissent, while simultaneously holding that the state has a constitutional duty to protect life."

So, what's the final action that lies with the court? Take him into custody like Irom Sharmila or let the hunger striker die like Prof G D Agarwal 

I personally think the best solution is a resigned education minister
