Hunger Strike Enters 21st Day

The indefinite hunger strike by AISA activists at Jantar Mantar has entered its 21st day, with organisers claiming that the condition of three participants has worsened due to the prolonged fast.

Medical personnel have reportedly been monitoring the protesters' health.

Health Concerns Rise

According to AISA representatives:

  • Three activists have experienced a decline in their health.

  • Doctors have been conducting regular medical examinations.

  • Concerns have been raised over the impact of the prolonged fast.

The extent of their medical condition has not been independently verified by authorities.

Protest Demands

The hunger strike is being held to press for action on issues raised by the student organisation.

AISA has urged the government to engage in dialogue and address its demands through discussions.

Authorities' Response

Security personnel remain deployed around the protest site to maintain law and order.

Officials have continued to monitor the situation, though there has been no official announcement regarding negotiations or policy decisions linked to the protest.

Political Reactions

The protest has attracted attention from student groups, activists, and several opposition leaders, some of whom have called for dialogue between the protesters and the government.

The government has not publicly commented in detail on the latest health concerns reported by the organisers.

Looking Ahead

Attention will remain on the health of the fasting activists and whether discussions are initiated to address their demands.

Further medical updates and official responses are expected as the protest continues.
