Don’t test Wangchuk’s limits, hold talks: Anna Hazare’s message to govt

Social activist Anna Hazare on Saturday urged the Centre to engage in dialogue with educationist Sonam Wangchuk, saying the government should not avoid discussions even if it disagrees with his demands.

"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.

Hazare's remarks came hours after Delhi Police shifted Wangchuk to Safdarjung Hospital after his health deteriorated on the 21st day of his indefinite hunger strike at Jantar Mantar. Wangchuk has been demanding the resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan over the NEET paper leak scandal.
