He continued his fast in the hospital.In a post on X, the actor turned politician said the nation will need Wangchuk’s conscience for the journey ahead. “Please end your fast,” he said.

It is now time for the country to do its duty…May your dreams forever be bigger than our failures. @cockroachisback #CJPProtest,” he said.
