Gitanjali Angmo defends her husband, Sonam Wangchuk, alleging a 'witch-hunt' aiming to tarnish his reputation as an education reformer in Ladakh. Despite providing clarifications to charges, Wangchuk faces accusations of anti-national activities, financial irregularities, and having ties to Pakistan, leading to his detention under the NSA.

Gitanjali Angmo, the wife of educational reformer and activist Sonam Wangchuk, has raised serious allegations of a 'witch-hunt' aimed at discrediting her husband. She accuses authorities of spreading 'baseless narratives' to portray him as an 'anti-national.'

Angmo's husband, Wangchuk, was recently detained under the National Security Act for allegedly inciting violent protests in Ladakh, leading to multiple fatalities and injuries.
