Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi called the detention of climate activist Sonam Wangchuk and other Ladakhis unacceptable. He said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi will have to listen to the voice of Ladakh. Wangchuk, along with about 120 people from Ladakh, marched to the capital Delhi demanding Sixth Schedule status for the Union Territory. Delhi Police has detained him on the border of the capital. Rahul Gandhi questioned why the elderly citizens who raised their voices for the future of Ladakh were detained by the police on the Delhi border.
Rahul Gandhi expressed his displeasure
Congress MP Rahul Gandhi expressed displeasure on social media platform X. He said, "The detention of Sonam Wangchuk and hundreds of Ladakhis, who were marching peacefully to demand environmental and constitutional rights, is unacceptable." He further said, "Modi ji, like the farmers, this chakravyuh will also break. You have to listen to the voice of Ladakh."
Sonam Wangchuk detained
Before being detained, Wangchuk shared pictures from the Delhi border on Instagram. Their buses were stopped and heavily guarded by police. In his post, Wangchuk said several vehicles of the Delhi Police and its Haryana counterpart were accompanying their buses. They initially thought they were being provided security as they approached the capital, but later it became clear they would be detained. He said around 1,000 police personnel were deployed at the Delhi border. They were told that a large number of security forces were also deployed at Ladakh Bhawan in Delhi.
"It seems they don't want this padayatra to happen," Wangchuk said. The padayatra was organized by the Leh Apex Body in collaboration with the Kargil Democratic Alliance. The Delhi Police on Monday banned the assembly and protests of five or more persons carrying banners, placards, and weapons in the border areas for the next six days, citing law and order issues.
