Environmentalist Sonam Wangchuk has accused Union Ministers of breaching trust by publicizing images suggesting the successful conclusion of his 26-day hunger strike before he officially ended it. Wangchuk claims the ministers released photos implying he had broken his fast due to assurances made by them, which he disputes. He asserts the timing of the release was premature and misleading, aiming to preempt his planned address explaining his reasons for continuing the protest. The fast was initiated to demand full statehood for Ladakh and constitutional safeguards under the Sixth Schedule. Wangchuk intends to clarify that his protest continues until these demands are met, despite the government’s claims. He expressed disappointment at what he perceives as a deliberate attempt to undermine his efforts to raise awareness about Ladakh’s concerns. The situation highlights a growing tension between the activist and the central government regarding the future of the region.
