    'Government is making a big mistake', Congress said on the arrest of Sonam Wangchuk


    The Ladakh unit of the Congress has said that all the negative publicity and false allegations against Sonam Wangchuk, the local people would not believe it and emphasized that the climate activists have become the most prominent and vocal face of the Ladakh movement.

    The Congress said that if the government believes that the arrest of Wangchuk will help in restoring peace and harmony in the area, then it is making a big mistake. Wangchuk was detained under the National Security Act (NSA) on Friday (September 26, 2025) and has been kept in Jodhpur Jail in Rajasthan.

    4 protesters killed in Ladakh violence

    Two days ago, the performance of people demanding to give Ladakh full state status and include in the sixth schedule became violent and widespread violence spread in the Union Territory. Four protesters were killed and 90 others were injured in these clashes.

    Congress's Ladakh unit president Naveen Rigjin Jora said in a statement, “The Congress strongly condemns the unfair arrest of the popular worker. He had only one fault that he held Ladakh accountable for the election promise of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) to include Ladakh in the sixth schedule of the Constitution.

    Wangchuk on the path of Mahatma Gandhi

    In the statement, Nawang said, 'He was also playing an important role in raising other demands of' Leh Apex Body-Kargil Democratic Alliance '. These demands include full state status, different parliamentary seats for Leh and Kargil and recruitment in government jobs. According to the data of the Government of India, Ladakh has the second highest unemployment rate at graduation level.

    He said that Wangchuk has done Satyagraha, fast and padyatra in the last five years, following the path of Mahatma Gandhi. He has become the most prominent and outspoken face of the Ladakh movement and hence knocking in the eyes of the central government.

  • 'Sonam Wangchuk's arrest will worsen the situation', this person made a big claim

    'Sonam Wangchuk's arrest will worsen the situation', this person made a big claim


    Reacting to the arrest of climate activist Sonam Wangchuk, Leh Apex Body (Lab) Legal Advisor Haji Ghulam Mustafa said on Friday (September 26, 2025) that this step will make the situation more complicated rather than bringing general status in the Union Territory, as Wangchuk is a world-famous person who is a world-famous person, who is convinced in non-violence.

    Ghulam said that the arrest of a person cannot be stopped for state status and the ongoing agitation for his four-formulas, including inclusion of Ladakh in the sixth schedule of the Constitution, but his arrest could be an obstacle in the ongoing conversation between Ladakh representatives and the central government.

    Wangchuk's arrest indiscriminate decision

    Mustafa told 'PTI', 'We have also heard about Wangchuk's arrest, which is a very unfortunate and indispensable decision taken by the government. On Wednesday, the nuisance, in which four protesters lost their lives and 90 others were injured, I do not see any role in them.

    He said that Wangchuk's arrest has been made on baseless allegations, which can hurt the people of Ladakh emotionally and this arrest cannot be called an intelligent decision. Mustafa, a legal advisor to the Kargil Democratic Alliance (KDA), said, “He is an internationally acclaimed person who is known for his work in social activism and education and climate.”

    Haji Ghulam Mustafa accused the government

    He said, 'When you arrest someone of his stature, what message are you giving to people that you can arrest anyone.' LAB and KDA have been jointly leading protests in support of their demands for the last four years. Mustafa alleged that Wangchuk's arrest could be a trick to derail the conversation focused on his demands.

    Mohammad Ramadan, vice-president of Anjuman-e-Moinul Islam, a constituent of LAB, said that this arrest is the result of a systematic campaign conducted by right-wing activists and a particular class of media, which aims to defame them and take action against the people.

    Firm belief in the Constitution of India

    Ramadan accused the central government of experimenting with the policies adopted in other places to intimidate the leadership in Ladakh, saying, “He is the son of this soil, our hero, a leader who follows a Gandhian lifestyle and has firm faith in the Constitution of India.”

    He said, 'He was leading the movement in a peaceful manner through hunger strikes and foot march from Leh to Delhi. We all follow them. Instead of bringing a normal position in such steps, only the situation will be complicated.

    Mustafa's question about government's decision

    Earlier in the day, LAB co-chairman Chering Dorje also defended Wangchuk and said that in recent times, actions against him have raised many questions. Dorje questioned reporters, saying, 'Wangchuk was running his institute for a long time, but now that he is part of the movement for the rights of the people, who inspired the government to take action against him at the same time? Did the government not know about these things earlier? '

    He gave this response on the questions asked about the FCRA license of 'Students Educational and Cultural Movement of Ladakh' (Sekmol) established by Wangchuk on behalf of Wangchuk on the questions asked about the lease of land given to his HAIL Institute.
