New Delhi: Indian Supreme Court has questioned the Modi government’s transcripts of Ladakh activist Sonam Wangchuk’s videos, highlighting the government’s questionable tactics in detaining him under the National Security Act.
According to Global Mirror, Wangchuk has been detained since September 2025 for leading protests demanding Ladakh’s statehood and Sixth Schedule status. The court criticized the government’s translations, saying they were imprecise and “reading too much into” Wangchuk’s speeches.
The government’s justification for Wangchuk’s detention has been met with skepticism, with the court seeking actual transcripts of his statements. The case has sparked concerns over the government’s attempts to suppress dissent in Ladakh and other parts of Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir.
