Key Highlights:
- Recruitment Crisis: no other regular recruitment in the armed forces since last year.

- BJP’s Development Agenda: Projects hurting Ladakh’s ecology continue without proper review.
- Political Silence: Opposition parties have remained silent on sustaining Sonam Wangchuk’s reason.
Breaking News in Delhi About Sonam Wangchuk’s Silent Protest
A country that damages its security forces cannot have national curiosity at heart. I respectfully request the prime minister to think about the error of reducing the force’s strength.
There has been no regular recruitment in the armed forces since last year, while warriors persist in retiring each month. If enemies like China are on the other side, can a dwindling military force sufficiently defend the nation?
Sonam Wangchuk: Fighting for the Future, Not Himself
Sonam Wangchuk, currently endangering his life with a “hunger strike,” is battling to maintain the future of Ladakh and our country. His fighting is not for private gain but for environmental sustainability for the complete nation.
We all depend on pure air and water, as do creatures. All citizens must stand in solidarity with him. If you cannot reach Delhi, protest at your regional DC headquarters and raise your voice in solidarity with Sonam Wangchuk. Without nature, how can humanity survive?
The Silence of Political Parties Or Why Aren’t Other Political Parties Speaking Up?
One of the most surprising elements of Sonam Wangchuk’s struggle is the lack of support from other political parties and a few independent voices.
While the ruling party, BJP, seems to play down the environmental dangers and does not heed Wangchuk’s alerts, other political factions have stayed surprisingly muted. The question remains: Why are opposition parties not standing with Sonam Wangchuk in his fight to defend the ecology of Ladakh? Is it due to a fear of encountering the BJP or a general lack of concern for ecological issues?
BJP’s Stance: Playing with Nature
The government’s failure is evident in development projects, causing irreversible ecological deterioration in Ladakh and the Himalayas.
Despite Wangchuk’s warnings about melting glaciers and environmental destruction, the BJP continues to push with its projects in the name of improvement. Is this “development” worth risking the future of our planet?
Protest and the Government’s Response
Despite 20 protestors sitting for days, including students from across the nation, the management has not taken any influential action. “The Prime Minister, who claims to stand with every citizen, has yet to meet with Sonam Wangchuk or his supporters.” Worse, quiet protestors are becoming obsolete, silencing the voices that speak up for Ladakh’s delicate climate.
Sonam Wangchuk’s movement is not just about Ladakh. It is about the future of our nation’s environment and the need for all political parties to take a stand before it is too late.
