The Centre's revocation of climate activist Sonam Wangchuk's detention has prompted AAP's sharp critique. They accuse the government of jailing individuals without evidence, illustrating a broader concern over civil liberties in India.
Arvind Kejriwal suggested Wangchuk's case parallels the alleged Delhi liquor scam involving AAP leaders, criticizing the government's handling of dissent.
Wangchuk's detention under the NSA followed protests in Leh. His release six months later has raised questions about the government's actions and the delayed habeas corpus response.
