Sonam Wangchuk’s hunger strike enters 16 days. Thousands of Ladakh residents are on a hunger strike along with Sonam Wangchuk, who is on a hunger strike to save Ladakh. In the midst of this hunger strike, his question – people want to know today, is Ladakh made a Union Territory because our hills have been sold to various industrial organisations, mining companies?
Almost every day, many people in Ladakh spend their nights with Sonam Wangchuck under the open sky amid the -15 degrees Celsius winter. Thousands of people have joined the protest during the day.
Sonam Wangchuk, who has been on a hunger strike for the last two weeks, said, “Remember what the outgoing government had promised for the people of Ladakh. In the 2019 Lok Sabha elections at various meetings, in the 2020 council elections, they had said Ladakh would be protected on the basis of the Sixth Schedule of the Constitution. It was because of this promise that they won by a huge margin of votes.
Sonam Wangchuk said, 120 people are sleeping outside under the clear sky. The temperature is -8 degrees Celsius. Feeling quite a few weeks. But I can still pull for another 5 days and the parhapshaps will be kept. I am sure our path of truth will eventually get alcohol. In The Case Of Anna Hazare The Parliament Unanimously Passed The Lokpal Bill Within The 13th Day Of His Fast.
It may be recalled that even before this protest by Sonam Wangchuk, the protests began in Ladakh demanding full statehood and inclusion of the Sixth Schedule. It was during this time that Union Home Minister Amit Shah met a six-member delegation of the KDA and Le Apex Council. During the meeting, Amit Shah conveyed that the demand for inclusion of Ladakh in the Sixth Schedule was not possible. Sonam Wangchuk’s hunger strike has continued since then.
