Activist Sonam Wangchuk on Sunday shared a handwritten message through his wife, Gitanjali Angmo, calling for a march to Parliament on July 20, describing it as “India’s second freedom movement” for a “fear-free” and “injustice-free” India.

    In the message, posted on X, Wangchuk said the movement was aimed at securing “freedom from injustice”, citing issues such as paper leaks, and “freedom from fear”, referring to what he described as his “illegal detention”.

    “March to the Parliament. Please make it a big success,” the note read. It was signed off with the words, “Sent through Gitanjali from my illegal detention at Safdarjung.”

    Message from Sonam :

    20th JULY

    आज़ादी का दूसरा आन्दोलन

    भय मुक्त भारत, अन्याय मुक्त भारत

    Freedom from injustice (Like paper leaks)

    Freedom from Fear (my illegal detention)

    India’s 2nd FREEDOM MOVEMENT

    The reference to “illegal detention” reiterates Wangchuk’s allegation that he is being kept at Safdarjung Hospital against his wishes after being forcibly taken away from the Jantar Mantar protest site on Saturday.

    The Cockroach Janata Party (CJP) has called for the July 20 march to Parliament, demanding accountability over alleged irregularities in competitive examinations, reforms in the examination system and the resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan.

    Wangchuk joined the CJP-led agitation at Jantar Mantar on June 28. He was shifted to Safdarjung Hospital after being on a prolonged hunger strike.
