July 23 (Reuters) - ‌Indian activist ​Sonam Wangchuk has ended his ⁠hunger strike after 26 days, he said ​on Friday.

Wangchuk, ⁠59, had ‌been on ​a hunger strike since June 28 in solidarity ‌with India's ​youth-led "cockroach movement" ⁠that is demanding ‌the resignation ⁠of Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan over medical college ​entrance test ‌paper leaks.
