DAY 8
Still Alive, though not kicking….
Some 7,000 people gathered at Jantar Mantar today from morning to evening. Leaders of various social and political movements spoke in support. A clear indication of how effective this movement is can be judged from the number of trolls in the comments below. Over the years I’ve seen that this number is directly proportional to the impact. I’ll be so sad & dejected the day they go missing. Thank you, my success-o-meter, for your hard work.

HANGING BETWEEN TRUST & MISTRUST - LADAKH AWAITS DIALOGUE
Today marks exactly one month since the unconditional revocation of my detention under the NSA, 1980.
The revocation order gave us hope that the Centre was willing to correct past mistakes, as it spoke of “building mutual trust” for a “constructive and meaningful dialogue.” However, even after 2.5 months since the last dialogue on 4th February, not even a date for the next round of talks has been announced.
On the “trust” front shady entities are using this gap to sow seeds of Leh- Kargil (Buddhist - Muslim) divide.
As people in this sensitive border region grow disheartened and demoralised, I urge Hon’ble PM @narendramodi ji and HM @AmitShah ji to take timely measures, in national interest, to resolve the issues at the earliest.

The revocation of NSA against Shri Sonam Wangchuk is a welcome move. However, our struggle of our legitimate rights continues.
We also demand the immediate release of Deldan Namgial & Smanla Dorjey & appeal that all charges against those detained on 24 Sept be dropped unconditionally.

Delighted that the Centre has revoked @sonamwangchuck’s detention, but 169 days seems to have been an inordinately long time. The @SupremeCourtGOI needs to evolve a strict norm for maximum periods of detention permissible without trial. Indefinite detention is an undemocratic practice left over from the colonial era. It has no place in a mature democracy.

On the government revoking the detention of Sonam Wangchuk, Tsering Dorjay Lakrook, co-chairman of the Leh Apex Body & president of Ladakh Buddhist Association(LBA), says:
Welcome news as the Centre revokes the detention order against Sonam Wangchuk under the National Security Act.
A positive step that reinforces faith in democracy, justice & the power of peaceful advocacy. Truth and dialogue must always prevail. 🇮🇳

No one can question the secularism of Modi's Bharat. We do NOT discriminate while lynching.
Dalits / All Shades Of Muslims / Alleged 'Bangladeshis' / Cattle traders / even folks from the Northeast - hum sabko pel dete hain.
Bangladesh is trying hard but we're lynching Vishvaguru
We have lost our moral compass.
The nation is turning hateful with vengeance.
Shocking to see brutality not only against students from the North East but also from Kashmir and Ladakh.
As promised, here’s the full interview with @garimaasinghh01, @Zee. Accepting the interview invites is my small effort to keep the collective memory of @Wangchuk66’s illegal detention alive across the length and breadth of India and the world till he is released!

Memory is the strongest form of resistance. In a democracy, questions shouldn't be met with detention; only with answers. In the end, truth will prevail!
