Sonam Wangchuk in police custody: Social activist Sonam Wangchuk has been detained by Delhi Police at Indus Border. About 130 people have also been detained along with him. Sonam Wangchuk entered Delhi from Haryana on her 700 km long 'Dilli Chalo Padyatra' and was stopped by the police. Along with him, about 130 workers from Ladakh were also coming to protest in Delhi.
In this matter, the reaction of opposition leader in Lok Sabha and Congress MP Rahul Gandhi has come to the fore. He said the detention of Sonam Wangchukji and hundreds of Ladakhis who were marching peacefully for environmental and constitutional rights is unacceptable. Why are the elders standing for the future of Ladakh being detained on the Delhi border? Modi ji, like the farmers, this cycle will also be broken and your pride will also be broken. You have to listen to the voice of Ladakh.
