Anna Hazare Urges Centre to Talk to Sonam Wangchuk After Hospitalisation Activist Anna Hazare on Saturday said the Union government should hold talks with educationist Sonam Wangchuk. "The government should not test his limits. Say yes or no (to his demands) but what is wrong in holding discussions," Hazare said in a video message. Wangchuk has been demanding resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan over the NEET paper leak scandal. He was shifted to a government hospital by Delhi Police on Saturday after his health deteriorated on the 21st day of his indefinite hunger strike at Jantar Mantar. Notably, Hazare's hunger strike in Delhi for the Lokpal Act had rocked the UPA government in 2011. Meanwhile, Activist Sonam Wangchuk's doctor, Dr Nitin Dighe, questioned the need for medical admission, calling the situation "suspicious." Sonam Wangchuk, admitted to Safdarjung Hospital after a 20-day hunger strike on Saturday, is under close medical observation and is experiencing generalised weakness, dehydration, and low serum potassium levels, according to the latest health bulletin released by the hospital. Dr. Dighe claimed that Wangchuk's potassium levels were normal during his last independent test, registering at 4.8 (above the standard baseline). "My team and I have been doing his checkups for the past 20 days... I asked them why they have kept him here, we were told that he is showing potassium deficiency. I had taken his blood sample at 3 pm yesterday and potassium was normal at that time. It was 4.8, higher than the normal value of 3.5. Now, they are saying the value has dropped. When his wife is asking for a report, they are not giving one to her. This is suspicious," Dr. Nitin Dighe said. "...I am collecting his blood and taking it for a report. I will present the report to you. We do not trust the Government lab," he added. Aditi Pandey is a passionate journalist with over three years of experience in the digital newsroom.
