Arrested Ladakhi activist-educationist Sonam Wangchuk has appealed to the people of Ladakh to maintain peace and unity and continue with the ongoing struggle for statehood and safeguards under the Sixth Schedule of the Constitution in the true Gandhian way of non-violence, his lawyer said on Sunday (October 5).

Wangchuk conveyed the message through the legal advisor of Leh Apex Body, Haji Mustafa, who, along with the activist’s elder brother Ka Tsetan Dorjey Ley, met him at Rajasthan’s Jodhpur jail on Saturday.

Wangchuk said that unless there is an independent judicial inquiry into the killing of the four people during the September 24 violence, he was “prepared to stay in jail”.
