Reacting to the MHA’s statement, which blamed him for provoking the violence of the crowd on Wednesday (September 24), Wangchuk said he was ready to be arrested under public security standard (PSA).
“I see that they are a matter to get me in the law on public security and throw myself into prison for two years,” he told PTI by phone and added that “I am ready for this, but Sonam Wangchuk in prison can cause them more problems than Sonam Wangchuk Free.”
The climatic activist also said: “Saying it (violence) was encouraged by me, or sometimes by Congress is to find a scapegoat, rather than solving the heart of the problem, and that will lead us anywhere.”
“They can be intelligent by making someone else a scapegoat, but they are not wise. For the moment, we all need wisdom rather than” intelligence “because young people are already frustrated,” said Wangchuk.

The activist firmly attributed the erase of violence to anger against long -standing grievances, mainly the frustration among young people in the region and estimated that the real cause is the “frustration of six years of unemployment and unsealled promises at all levels”.
He accused the government of having misleaded the public by claiming the success of partial job reservations, noting that the main state requests and the extension of the sixth calendar to protect the tribal status of Ladakh and the fragile environment remain “intact” after five years of peaceful calls.
Wangchuk said that by using the “scapegoat tactic”, the government “does not really take peace measures”, but will rather take measures that “worse” the situation by diverting the attention of the basic requests of the people.
The Movement of State of the Ladakh Movement led by Wangchuk went down into violence, the criminal fire and street clashes in Leh on Wednesday, September 24, killing four people and at least 80 injured, including 40 police officers, officials announced.
While the sun was lying on what is probably the worst day of violence since 1989 in the cold desert region, Wangchuk canceled his hunger strike for fifteen to put pressure for requests, while the authorities tightened the curfew in the Leh district.
Earlier in the day, groups of young people, engaging in a criminal fire and vandalism, targeted the headquarters of the BJP and the Hill Council and put the vehicles on fire.

Police and paramilitary forces, deployed in force across the city, launched schemes to master the situation, officials said.
In a statement last night, the Union’s interior ministry alleged that the violence of the crowd was guided by the “provocative declarations” of activist Wangchuk and certain individuals “with political motivation”, who were not satisfied with the progress made in the current talks between the representatives of the government and the Ladakhi groups.
The ministry said that except for a few unhappy incidents that occurred early Wednesday, the situation was under control at 4 p.m. and asked everyone not to broadcast old and provocative videos in the media and social media.
“It is well known that the government of India has actively engaged with the organization Leh Apex and the Kargil Democratic Alliance. Meetings of meetings took place with them by the formal channel of a high-level committee (HPC) as well as sub-commies and multiple informal meetings with managers,” the published press release said on Wednesday.
“However, some people with political motivation were not satisfied with the progress made under HPC and tried to sabotage the dialogue process,” he said.
The next meeting of the high -level committee has been scheduled for October 6. Meetings are also scheduled for September 25 and 26, with Ladakh leaders.
Finding events as heartbreaking, Lieutenant-Governor Kavinder Gupta had declared that everyone had the right to speak peacefully in a democratic system, but what was happened was not spontaneous and is the result of a plot. “We will not spare people who have spoiled the atmosphere here.” The curfew was imposed as a precautionary measure to prevent more victims, he said.
