Speaking to NDTV, Gitanjali J Angmo, social entrepreneur and wife of climate activist Sonam Wangchuk, said her husband’s arrest under the National Security Act (NSA) is unjustified, adding that she has not been informed of his whereabouts since he was taken into custody more than 48 hours ago. Wangchuk had been on a peaceful hunger strike demanding statehood for Ladakh and inclusion under the Sixth Schedule of the Constitution.
"This is a witch-hunt that began four years ago when Sonam started reminding the government about Ladakh’s need for a legislature and constitutional protection," she said
In Delhi, Ladakhi leaders and activists held a press conference demanding Wangchuk’s release and a judicial probe into the violence. They renewed their demands for statehood, Sixth Schedule protection, jobs for youth, and separate Lok Sabha seats for Leh and Kargil. At the Delhi press meet, Sajjad Kargili of the Kargil Democratic Alliance said, "He attended a UN conference on climate change. If playing cricket matches with Pakistan is not a crime, why is this being politicised?" he asked.
