Climate activist Sonam Wangchuk has warned that he may undertake a hunger strike or a foot march if leaders detained in Delhi are not released by Sunday, October 11. His warning comes amid tensions surrounding a protest organised by the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) and other participants in the national capital.

According to reports published on October 10, Wangchuk has called for the release of those detained during demonstrations against Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar. His statement raises the possibility of further protest if the demand is not addressed within the specified deadline.
Sonam Wangchuk Sets Deadline for Release of Detained Leaders
Wangchuk has indicated that he may consider a fast or a foot march if the detained leaders are not released by Sunday. The warning comes as the circumstances surrounding the detentions have become a focus of the ongoing protest.
The proposed measures are intended to draw attention to the demands of the protesters and press for action on the release of those in custody. However, Wangchuk’s statement concerns possible future action, and it does not establish that either a hunger strike or a foot march has already begun.
Delhi Protest and Detentions
The protest in Delhi has been linked to demands concerning Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar and objections to the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls. Protest participants have raised concerns about the electoral-roll revision process, while the authorities have taken security measures around the demonstrations.
Reports have stated that several individuals associated with the protest were detained. The circumstances and legal grounds for individual detentions would need to be established through official statements and further reporting.
