Gitanjali Angmo, the wife of education reformer and activist Sonam Wangchuk and co-founder of the Himalayan Institute of Alternatives Ladakh (HIAL), on Tuesday (September 30) alleged that "baseless narratives" were being spread against him and his institutes to project him as an "anti-national" as part of a "witch-hunt".

Wangchuk, who has been at the forefront of the movement seeking statehood and extension of the Sixth Schedule to Ladakh, was detained under the stringent National Security Act (NSA) in Leh on Friday (September 26) for allegedly instigating the violent protests on September 24 that left four people dead and scores of others, including security personnel, injured.

He was later shifted to a jail in Jodhpur, Rajasthan.
