Congress MP Imraan Masood alleged that Sonam Wangchuk had "made a deal" with the Centre following the end of his 26-day hunger strike. Masood also drew parallels with Anna Hazare and said, "He's Anna Hazare Part 2…He struck a personal deal with...government." The BJP hit back, accusing the Congress of attacking Wangchuk instead of welcoming the start of talks.
