Rahul Gandhi Comments On Sonam Wangchuk’s Detention, Says, ‘Your Arrogance Will Be Broken’

Over the recent march, people from Ladakh, including activist Sonam Wangchuk was detained by Delhi Police. The march was led demanding the sixth schedule status for Ladakh. However, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi criticized Prime Minister Narendra Modi after the detention.

According to a police official, Sonam Wangchuk and his fellow protesters had intended to spend the night at the Singhu border. Despite being advised to return due to prohibitory orders in place in Delhi, they continued their march. As a result, police stationed at the border detained around 120 individuals, including Wangchuk.

Reacting to the detentions, Rahul Gandhi took to X (formerly Twitter) to express his disapproval. He compared the situation to the farmers’ protests, stating, “Modi ji, just like with the farmers, this ‘Chakravyuh’ will be broken, and so will your arrogance. You will have to listen to Ladakh’s voice.”

He further condemned the detention of elderly citizens, calling it “unacceptable.” Gandhi added, “The detention of Sonam Wangchuk ji and hundreds of Ladakhis peacefully marching for environmental and constitutional rights is unacceptable. Why are elderly citizens being held at Delhi’s border for standing up for Ladakh’s future?”
