Will stop taking water if forced out: Sisodia

NEW DELHI: Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia, who, along with Health Minister Satyendar Jain is on an indefinite hunger strike at Lieutenant Governor Anil Baijal's office, on Friday said they will also stop taking water if they are forcefully taken to a hospital.

Ambulances and a team of over 20 doctors reached the LG office on Friday, as Jain and Sisodia's fast entered the fourth and third day, respectively. Additional security was also deployed in the area.

According to sources, the LG office is planning to take them out of the office forcefully.

Sisodia released a video saying they are not going to end the fast until their demands are met. "We are sitting inside the LG Office from the past five days. Jainji is on a hunger strike from the past four days and I am from the past three days," Sisodia said in the video.

"We are totally fit, our body is totally fine. We have been informed that a number of doctors were called here and there is a plan to pick us up forcefully," the Deputy Chief Minister added.

"Instead of forcing us to break the fast, kindly focus on our demands," he added.
