Kargil Democratic Alliance (KDA) said on Tuesday (September 30, 2025) that after the announcement of the Slex (Laboratory) before the day of KDA, the KDA will also not participate in any meeting with the Ministry of the Interior (MHA) until Mr. Wangchuk and others are released.
KDA Asgar Ali Karbalai said the Alliance is “constantly in contact” with the laboratory. “If the Indian government thinks Ladakhis can silence by scaring them, wrong, we won’t sit quietly,” he said. “If you want to kill my brother and talk to me, it’s not possible.” The main point of the dispute raised by the leaders was the alleged depiction of the Ladakhis as “anti-national” government sympathizers.
Ladakh MP Mohmad Haneef said, “There is a narrative that despite the victims of the Ladak people have done … they try to portray us as anti -cheri.”
The advocate of the Supreme Court Prashant Bhushan said that Mr. Wangchuk did not impose violence, but after he learned that violence broke out in September 24, violence broke out.
“His arrest injured people in Ladak more. According to the rules, a copy of the arrest order has been given within five days;
Political activist Yogendra Yadav also demanded his immediate release.
