‘No resignation, the fast will be broken only on these conditions’: Sonam Wangchuk opened all the cards placed before the government ‘No resignation; the hunger strike will end only on these conditions’: Sonam Wangchuk lays out all the demands placed before the government.

The movement of famous educationist and climate activist Sonam Wangchuk, who is continuously fighting for the environment and rights of Ladakh, has once again become the center of discussion across the country. Various types of discussions are going on in political circles regarding his fast and protests. Meanwhile, Sonam Wangchuk herself has come forward and put an end to all the speculations in which it was being claimed that her movement is demanding the resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan. Wangchuk has made it clear that his fight is not for the resignation of any person, but for the future of Ladakh and the constitutional security there. Along with this, he has also revealed the clear conditions under which only he will end his long fast.

Is Sonam Wangchuk really demanding Dharmendra Pradhan’s resignation?

Recently, many things were spread on social media and political forums regarding Sonam Wangchuk’s movement. People believed that perhaps this demonstration was the result of personal anger against a particular minister of the central government. But rejecting all these discussions, Sonam Wangchuk has clearly said that her protest is not at all related to the demand for resignation of Union Minister Dharmendra Pradhan or any other person. His movement is for the democratic rights of the people of Ladakh, environmental protection and restoration of the special status given under the Sixth Schedule of the Constitution, which is linked to the basic identity of the region.

On what conditions will the fast be broken? Sonam Wangchuk put forward her main demands

Putting forth her views strongly before the government, Sonam Wangchuk has mentioned the main conditions without which her fast will not end. Their major demands include:

• Sixth Schedule of the Constitution: To provide special constitutional protection to the tribal dominated area of ​​Ladakh, so that the land, culture and resources there can be conserved.

• Full statehood: Ladakh should be given the status of a separate and full-fledged state so that the local people have their own democratically elected government.

• Democratic Rights and Employment: To ensure new employment opportunities for the youth and direct participation of the local people in decisions related to the development of Ladakh.

What will be the future stand between the government and Ladakh?

After this strong stance and clarification by Sonam Wangchuk, the pressure on the central government and the local administration has once again increased. Wangchuk is continuously receiving support from environmentalists, intellectuals and common citizens from different parts of the country. Analysts believe that if the government does not soon start a round of meaningful talks with the representatives of Ladakh, this movement may take a more widespread form in the coming days. At present, all eyes are on how the government reacts to these reasonable conditions of Sonam Wangchuk and by when a concrete solution will be found.
