Activist Sonam Wangchuk arrested after violence in Leh

In Leh, climate activist Sonam Wangchuk was arrested on Friday under the National Security Act (NSA) for allegedly inciting the demonstrators who were demanding statehood for the Union Territory.Following the clashes on Wednesday, Authorities imposed a curfew in Leh while Wangchuk also called off his two-week hunger strike, calling for statehood and the inclusion of Ladakh into the Sixth Schedule of the Constitution. According to reports, Wangchuck was arrested by a Ladakh police team led by DGP S D Singh Jamwal. Internet services have also been suspended in Leh.

The union ministry of home affairs (MHA) had blamed Wangchuck for Wednesday's violence in Leh, saying in a statement that it was incited by his “provocative statements”. However, the activist denied the charges. He denounced the violence and also ended the fortnight-long fast following the violence on Wednesday. The MHA alleged that Wangchuk's references to the Arab Spring and Nepal Gen Z protests stirred mob fury that resulted in the local BJP office in Leh and a few government vehicles being torched. The home ministry statement detailed the chronology of the flare-up. "On 24th September, at around 11.30 am, a mob instigated by his provocative speeches left the venue of the hunger strike and attacked a political party office as well as the government office of the CEC Leh," it read.

The ministry on Thursday revoked the FCRA licence of the Students Educational and Cultural Movement of Ladakh (SECMOL), an NGO led by Sonam Wangchuck. It cited “financial irregularities” as the reason for the action. The activist denied those charges too, calling the investigation into him by the CBI and the MHA a “witch hunt”.

The Apex Body Leh, which is leading the agitation for statehood for Ladakh, stated on Friday that their protest is peaceful and that the violence on September 24 was triggered when a section of the youth got out of control. The Apex Body denied activist Sonam Wangchuk's role in the violence in Leh during his ongoing hunger strike.
