Leh/New Delhi: The Union government has blamed activist Sonam Wangchuk for the violent clashes that erupted in Ladakh on September 24, resulting in four deaths and injuring around seventy people. According to the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA), Wangchuk continued his hunger strike despite repeated requests from several leaders to call it off. The ministry said that he misled the people through provocative mentions of Arab Spring-style protests and references to Gen-Z protests in Nepal.

“A mob motivated by his provocative speeches left the venue of the hunger strike and attacked a political party office as well as the government office of the CEC Leh. It is clear that the mob was guided by Sonam Wangchuk through his provocative statements,” the MHA said in a statement.
