Centre Defends Sonam Wangchuk Arrest in SC Over Ladakh Row

Following deadly protests in Ladakh demanding statehood and inclusion under the Sixth Schedule, renowned activist Sonam Wangchuk was detained under the stringent National Security Act on September 26. The central government defended his arrest in the Supreme Court, asserting that incitement and the spread of unrest cannot be permitted, after demonstrations led to four deaths in the Union Territory.
