“This was the revolution of the gene Z,” Wangchuk said after provoking a hungry strike on Wednesday. The term “protests gene from” gained a currency after recent demonstrations in Nepal, which led to a change in the government in the neighboring country of India.
However, the Union’s government blamed Wangchuka of “introducing people through a provocative mention of protest and Arabic spring and references to the protests of the gene of Nepal”.
However, the award-winning environmentalist said in television interviews that violence in Ladak was powered by “U-Turns” BJP on the promises that the party made in 2020, as well as years of unemployment among local youth.
Here are 10 things that you should know about Development in Leh, Ladakh since 2019, when it became the territory of the Union:
1-Protes Ladakh protest?
Ladakh was carved as a separate territory of the Union in 2019 after the abolition of Article 370 and the bifurcation of Jammu and Kashmir. Another UT in the former is Jammu and Kashmir.
Ladakh has no gathering, unlike Jammu and Kashmir.
At that time, many, including Sonam Wangchuk, welcomed the status UT for Ladakh. Within a few months, however, there were concerns about what the inhabitants had described as a political vacuum under the administration of Governor Lieutenant. This is precisely because Ladakh was without a legislative choir and put the region under the direct central rule.
Jammu and Kashmir, another UT, were also without the elected government until last year, when the elections were held and the government led by the main Minister Omar Abdullah was sworn.
The growing dissatisfaction in Ladakh has led to extensive protests and hunger strikes over the aspirations of statehood. In fact, the first political and religious groups from the Buddhist majority of Leh and Muslim-Majorita Kargil joined the hand under the common platform: the top body of Leh and the Kargil Democratic Alliance seeking the State Status for Ladakh.
No main breakthrough during the interviews
The Union’s government has set up a high -level committee that would explore Ladakh’s requirements. The interviews took place without any main breakthrough. In March, he met the Minister of the Interior Amit Shah in Ladak in Delhi.

The local leaders claimed that Shah had rejected his main requirements.
Since then, Ladakh has witnessed several protests requiring statehood, constitutional guarantees according to the sixth schedule and greater local autonomy to protect his tribal identity and the fragile ecosystem. The sixth schedule of the Indian Constitution provides institutional guarantees and greater autonomy of tribal or hilly areas.
2-what happened on September 24th?
Protests for statehood have changed violent witnesses of arson and street clashes, so four people were dead and at least 59 injured, including 22 police staff on Wednesday
Groups of young people who indulge in arson and vandalism focused on the BJP headquarters in Leh and Hill Council and ignited vehicles. Police and paramilitary forces, deployed in the power throughout the city, lobbyed tears, so that the situation is under control, the officials said.
“On September 24, around 11:30, the Dav was provocative (Sonam Wangchuk), which left the venue of hunger and attacked the office of the political parties and the CEC government office (main election officer),” the Ministry of the Interior said on Wednesday evening.
The statement states that the protesters lit these offices, attacked security staff and set fire to a police vehicle. An unpleasant crowd attacked police staff in which more than 30 police/CRPF workers were injured, he added.

“In self -defense, the police had to resort to launching, in which some victims were unfortunately reported,” he said he added that the exclusion of the unfortunate incidents that occurred at the beginning of the day is under 16:00 control on Wednesday
3-what was the immediate spark?
Wednesday’s weaning was called after 15 people who were hunger strikes had to be moved to the hospital when their health deteriorated. The youth wing LEEX BODY (LAB), an organization that is mainly dealing with MHA in interviews since 2023-24, demanded weaning

When Ladakh became UT in 2019 and was separated from Jammu and Kashmir, he was left in the legislature without his own representation. The locals claimed that the lack of assembly reduced its ability to rule and protect local interests.
They also complain that job opportunities, land rights and protection that existed previously are weakening in Ladak by reducing UT.
The locals also fear that because Ladakh has fragile ecology, extensive projects (solar, infrastructure, etc.) this environment threatens, especially when decision -making is centralized. Another resentment is that the decision on administration and development of admission without receiving local residents aboard.
5- Who led a protest?
Sonam Wangchuk climatic activist led a hungry strike from September 10 and demanded statehood and sixth schedule protection. When two of the protesters were hospitalized for deteriorating health, it caused a wider protest action.
The youth wing of the laboratory demanded shutdown and protests in response.
Wangchuk, climatic activist, is an Education machine engineer and won the Ramon Magsaysay Award in 2018. Amir Khan’s ‘Phunsuk Wangda’ from the 2009 movie is inspired by Wangchuk.
6-what did the government say?
The Union’s government accused Wangchuk’s “provocative” manifestations for violence. The government said Wangchuk-the most important face of demand for Ladakh since 2019-“misleading people with a provocative mention of protest and references to the protests of the gene from Nepal”.
“On September 24th, around 11:30 am, the provocative manifestations of his (Sonam Wangchuk) left the venue of hunger strike and attacked the office of political parties and the CEC Lema Government office,” the Ministry of the Interior said.
The government also accused Wangchuka of breaking his fast and departure to his village “without effort” to calm the situation.
“It is clear that the crowd was subordinate to Shri Sonam Wangchuk through his provocative statements. By the way, in the middle of these violent developments, he broke his fasting and went to his village in an ambulance without developing serious efforts to control the situation,” Mha said.

The famous activist said that violence was caused by the deteriorating health of other hungry attackers. The older man and the woman were hurried to the hospital on the stretcher after their condition criticized violence the day before Tuesday before the release of violence.
“Understanding Requirements”
Wangchuk joined protests and violence with years of unaddressed requirements.
“On the one hand, they haven’t been out of work over the past five years, there were almost no jobs at a higher level, and democracy was limited. Their requirements were unsatisfied,” he said they rejected the accusations that protests were organized by political parties.
“I know the congress are not so competent that one of their leader can call 5,000 people. That would be too recognition of their influence,” Wangchuk said.
8-DID BJP accuses Congress?
Yes, the leader of BJP AMIT Malviya shared photos and videos of violence in Leh and connected Congress with him.
“This man in Ladak is a rebellion, is Phuntsog Stanzin Tsepag, councilor of the Congress for Horní Leh Ward. It is clearly visible as the crowd stimulates, and the participation in the violence that focused on the BJP and Hill Council office,” Malviya said on X.
