Climate activist, Sonam Wangchuk is currently leading the headlines because of his indefinite hunger strike at Jantar Mantar in New Delhi. He is fasting to protest widespread irregularities in India’s NEET medical entrance examinations and his hunger strike entered its critical third week. On July 16, 2026, Wangchuk entered the 19th day of his indefinite strike and his health has been dwindling. Amid the fiasco, people are eager to know his wife, Gitanjali J Angmo stance.
Where is Sonam Wangchuk’s wife, Gitanjali J Angmo amid his hunger strike?
Sonam Wangchuk began his hunger strike on June 28, 2026 in solidarity with the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP). The 59-year-old lost over 8.9 kg of body weight and soon his health condition worsened. The situation turned so critical that the Delhi High Court has demanded an urgent response from the government.
As Wangchuk’s health conditions deteriorated, all eyes were on his wife, Gitanjali J Angmo, who is his constant pillar of strength. She too joined the protest, standing with him in solidarity amid his hunger strike. Wangchuk’s wife, Gitanjali called his decision to carry out the protest as ‘organic’.
