SaralnamaThe Apex Body, Leh (ABL) called the detention of climate activist Sonam Wangchuk unfortunate. ABL co-chairman Chhering Dorje Lakruk denied anti-national claims about their statehood agitation. He questioned the police firing on protesters, which left 4 dead and many injured. ABL members won't attend the Union Home Ministry meeting in Delhi, choosing to attend funerals first. Lakruk defended Wangchuk and said the protests were due to genuine demands and youth frustration. He criticised the timing of Wangchuk's NGO losing its FCRA licence. ABL demanded a judicial inquiry into the violence and police firing. They plan to discuss statehood and Sixth Schedule protections with the government after the funerals. To support the movement, citizens can stay informed about Ladakh's demands and participate in peaceful protests. (Updated 26 Sep 2025, 21:03 IST; source: link)
