Kejriwal's Statement in Support of Sonam Wangchuk
Arvind Kejriwal said that people like Sonam Wangchuk pave new paths for the country, reform education, and develop innovative technologies to protect the environment.

Kejriwal stated that the BJP government, drunk with power, is suppressing the voice of the people. He called upon every Indian to unite for the protection of the rights of Ladakh's people. According to him, democracy will only survive when every citizen stands with such struggles.
The Fight for the Rights of Ladakh's People
Kejriwal described the voice of Ladakh's people as a battle for the protection of democracy. He stated that the people are not demanding any special privileges, but merely their constitutional rights. Despite repeatedly making promises, the BJP government is not granting them these rights.
He also stated that if the voice of Ladakh is ignored today, it will become the voice of the entire nation. This struggle is not merely regional, but crucial for the entire democratic structure of the country. The courage and unity of the people prove that when they are determined, power can be made to yield.
Sonam Wangchuk's Life and Contribution

He opened alternative schools for students who struggled and developed techniques like “Ice Stupas” to combat the climate crisis. His efforts are sources of inspiration in the education and environmental sectors.
Wangchuk also supported the abrogation of Article 370 because he believes in India's unity. Kejriwal stated that his initiatives and contributions to society make this struggle even more significant. He is not just a scientist or an educator, but also a proponent of democracy and civil rights.
Appeal to Citizens for the Protection of Democracy
Kejriwal stated that this fight is not just Sonam Wangchuk's, but for the rights of every Indian and the protection of democracy. He appealed to every citizen to stand with the people of Ladakh and raise their voice for the protection of democracy.
He also said that democracy will only remain b when the public is aware of their rights and voice. Today, the struggle of Ladakh has become a battle for the protection of the country's democratic values. Kejriwal stated that when the people unite, power is also compelled to yield.
