Rahul Gandhi News / Rahul got angry on Sonam Wangchuk's detention, said- Modi Ji, your ego will also be broken

Rahul Gandhi News: On Tuesday, Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi strongly criticized the detention of climate activist Sonam Wangchuk and his supporters at the Singhu border by the Delhi Police. Rahul Gandhi termed the move as "unacceptable" and targeted Prime Minister Narendra Modi, saying, "Modi ji, just as the 'chakravyuh' of farmers was broken, your arrogance will also be broken."

Sharp reaction from Rahul Gandhi

Rahul Gandhi said in a post on Twitter (formerly Twitter) that, "The detention of Sonam Wangchuk and hundreds of Ladakhis who were peacefully marching for environment and constitutional rights is unacceptable." He directly blamed Prime Minister Narendra Modi and questioned why the elders who stood up for the future of Ladakh are being detained at the Delhi border. Rahul Gandhi also said that "the voice of Ladakh cannot be ignored."

Sonam Wangchuk and his supporters in custody

Late on Monday night, Delhi Police detained climate activist Sonam Wangchuk and more than 150 of his supporters at the Singhu border. Wangchuk gave information about this by posting on Instagram. He told that "More than 1,000 police force has detained us on the borders of Delhi. This includes elderly people above 80 years of age and former army personnel." He said that this peaceful march was towards Mahatma Gandhi's Samadhi.

Demand for constitutional rights for Ladakh

Sonam Wangchuk and his supporters were marching on foot from Leh to New Delhi, which started on September 1. Their main demand is to include Ladakh in the Sixth Schedule of the Constitution. This will provide legal protection to the local people to protect their land and cultural identity.

This step of Wangchuk has been taken to ensure the safety of Ladakh's ecology and indigenous people. After the repeal of Article 370 in 2019, Jammu and Kashmir was divided into two union territories, but the people of Ladakh have felt deprived of many rights since then.

Nine days of fast and Ladakh's ecology

Sonam Wangchuk had earlier also fasted for nine days in Leh with the aim of drawing the attention of the authorities to protect the fragile hill ecology of Ladakh and the indigenous people. According to her, the ecology of Ladakh is in serious trouble, and the government is required to take steps to protect it.

Conclusion

The arrest of Sonam Wangchuk and her supporters has brought the demand for constitutional rights of Ladakh into national discussion. Rahul Gandhi and the opposition have increased pressure on the central government over this issue. Now it remains to be seen whether the government listens to the voice of Ladakh or not, and what will be the future of this peaceful movement.
