Actress Sonakshi Sinha Backs Sonam Wangchuk's Hunger Strike, Urges Attention to His Demands

Actor Sonakshi Sinha has voiced her support for climate activist Sonam Wangchuk, saying she could no longer remain silent as his hunger strike entered its 18th day.

In a video message, Sinha said Wangchuk's protest was not driven by personal interests but by concern for the future of coming generations and in memory of those who had lost their lives. She described the hunger strike as a fight for justice and accountability, adding that the issues he has raised deserve urgent national attention.

Sinha stated that Wangchuk's campaign reflects a broader struggle against what she believes is a system that is failing to respond effectively to people's concerns. She appealed to the public and authorities to take his demands seriously and engage in meaningful dialogue.

Her statement adds to the growing support for Wangchuk's protest from opposition leaders, civil society organisations, environmental activists, and several prominent public figures. As the hunger strike continues, calls for a resolution through constructive discussions have become increasingly widespread.

Wangchuk's ongoing protest has brought renewed focus to environmental protection, sustainable development, and governance issues, with supporters urging the government to address his concerns before the situation escalates further.
