He warned that organ failure could follow if the fast continued, though he indicated he had not yet reached that critical point. Wangchuk called on supporters to participate in large numbers in the CJP Parliament march scheduled for July 20, describing public turnout as the movement's core strength. His removal from the protest site triggered chaos at the location.
