In a strongly worded post on X, Wangchuk accused the government of restricting his movement while publicly maintaining that he had merely been advised to remain indoors.

The activist suggested that his questioning of the administration over two key issues had triggered the restrictions.

These include the alleged delay in releasing the Judicial Enquiry Commission report into last year's killings in Leh and the decision to hold what he described as a ‘phoney Council election’ at an unusually rapid pace during the peak of winter.

Claiming that the entire region was witnessing protests, Wangchuk said the developments had raised serious concerns about the situation in Ladakh.

He also alleged that his social media visibility had been deliberately curtailed, claiming that the reach of his accounts on X, Instagram and YouTube had been drastically reduced.

Describing the situation as particularly concerning in the world's largest democracy, Wangchuk appealed to people to amplify his message and share his allegations.

His post comes amid tensions over political representation, administrative decisions and public grievances in Ladakh, with the activist seeking greater attention to the region's demands.
