New Delhi [India], October 1 (ANI): Former Delhi Deputy Chief Minister and AAP leader Manish Sisodia attacked BJP after Sonam Wangchuk and several other people were detained by the police on Monday night here.
Taking to platform X, Sisodia in a self-recorded video said "BJP has detained Sonam Wangchuk and others. We all know how Wangchuk has brought pride to the nation. He had just gone with other eminent people to the Delhi border and raise their demands amid the miserable conditions that have been created in Ladakh after the place was turned into a Union Territory."
Further, he questioned the central government alleging that the centre was converting every state into an Union territory.
"What is the central government doing? Delhi belongs to everyone, right from people in Kashmir to Kanyakumari. You cannot be stopping people from entering the border. The BJP government is slowly working on a formula to convert every state of the country into a UT. The voice that Sonam Wangchuk was raising was a voice against danger. What harm has Wangchuk caused you? You cannot silence the voice. Everyone today is seeing what the central government is doing," he added.
Earlier on Tuesday, CM Atishi who went to meet the detained protesters of Ladakh at Bawana police station on Tuesday complained that she was not allowed to meet Sonam Wangchuk.
"People of Ladakh want statehood. Sonam Wangchuk and the people of Ladakh, who were going to visit Bapu's Samadhi, were arrested. They did not let me meet Sonam Wangchuk. This is the dictatorship of the BJP. We fully support Sonam Wangchuk."
Criticizing the BJP, Atishi claimed that the LG of Delhi had played a role in stopping her from meeting with the protestors,"I am fully confident that these police officers must have received a call from LG Sahab that the representative of the elected government, Delhi CM should not be allowed to meet Sonam Wangchuk. We strongly condemn it. Ladakh should get the status of a full state and Delhi should also get the status of a full state," Atishi said. (ANI)
