Sonam Wangchuk Cites Ladakh Work, Warns of Hunger Strike if Delhi Protest Detainees Not Freed
Climate activist Sonam Wangchuk announced he will not join the Cockroach Janata Party's October 10 protest in Delhi, citing urgent winter preparations in Ladakh focused on water security and glacial flood risks. He urged protesters, especially Gen Z, to remain peaceful and called for unity among leaders. Following the detention of several political figures and activists during the protest against alleged electoral irregularities, Wangchuk described the situation as an "undeclared emergency" and warned he may launch a hunger strike or march if detainees are not released by Sunday.
