Sonam Wangchuk Being Targetted For Raising Peoples' Genuine Demands

Sonam Wangchuk, a prominent figure in Ladakh's movement for constitutional safeguards, is facing government backlash for advocating the inclusion of Ladakh in the VI Schedule of the Indian Constitution. The movement, supported by Leh Apex Body and Kargil Democratic Alliance, seeks to protect Ladakh's fragile ecosystem and cultural identity. Despite promises from the BJP, the demands remain unmet, prompting Wangchuk to undertake multiple fasts, with the latest lasting 35 days. The movement also calls for full statehood, a Public Service Commission, and two Lok Sabha seats to ensure local governance and resource management.
