President of the Indian National Congress, Mallikarjun Kharge on Tuesday sharply criticized the BJP government for detaining a group of citizens from Ladakh, including activist Sonam Wangchuk who were peacefully marching to Delhi.

Kharge in a post on X, said that the detention of the protesters was a “cowardly action” and was “deeply undemocratic in nature”

“The arrogance of the Modi Govt consumed in power has detained a group of citizens from Ladakh peacefully marching to Delhi. This is nothing but a cowardly action, and is deeply undemocratic in nature. In Ladakh, there is a growing wave of public support, with widespread calls for safeguarding tribal communities under the Sixth Schedule of the Constitution. Instead, the Modi Govt wants to exploit the ecologically sensitive Himalayan glaciers of Ladakh to benefit its crony friends. This incident tells us that the fight against Modi Govt’s brazen despotism is far from over!” Kharge wrote in a post on X.

Congress MP KC Venugopal echoed Kharge’s sentiments, Congress MP KC Venugopal said that the BJP was on the path of repeating the sins that have caused its downfall.

“A day before Gandhi Jayanti, the Government of India is out to kill his ideals once again. The arrest of Sonam wangchuk ji shows the government is scared of anyone who speaks up for their rights. Ladakh has been silenced, stripped of its democratic rights, and on the verge of being handed over to large corporates. This protest is months old, and the BJP is silly to think such petty acts of cowardice are going to deter those who have embarked on a Gandhian mission. The Modi regime is hell bent on repeating the sins that have caused their downfall,” Venugoal wrote in a post on X.

In response to the detention of activist Sonam Wangchuk, Ladakh MP Haji Hanifa Jan expressed deep concern over the government’s handling of the ongoing issues in the region.

He urged the government to facilitate a platform where they could submit a memorandum to Prime Minister Modi or engage in talks with leadership to resolve the issues.

“For the last three years, we have been raising our concerns in a very peaceful manner…several rounds of discussions were also held with the government…we hoped that the talks would continue after the formation of the new government but it did not happen…We set out on foot from Leh under the banner of Kargil Democratic Alliance (KDA) and Apex Body with the hope that we would present our views to the central government in the national capital and our concerns would be heard. But unfortunately, Sonam Wangchuk and his team were detained yesterday…We urge the government to provide us a place from where we can submit a memorandum to PM Modi or hold talks with the leadership to resolve this issue,” Ladakh MP Haji Hanifa Jan said.

Meanwhile, The Kargil Democratic Alliance (KDA) and Apex Body, Leh have called for a bandh across Ladakh following the detention of renowned activist Sonam Wangchuk on Monday night.

Climate activist Sonam Wangchuk and his supporters were detained by Delhi Police at the Singhu border on Monday night. Section 163 of the BNS has been imposed at Delhi borders, said Delhi Police.

Wangchuk and other volunteers were embarking on a foot march from Leh to New Delhi to urge the Centre to resume dialogue with Ladakh’s leadership regarding their demands.

One of their key demands is for Ladakh to be included in the Sixth Schedule of the Constitution, granting law-making powers to the local population to protect their land and cultural identity. (ANI)
