AAP workers mounted a protest against Lt Governor VK Saxena when Delhi Chief Minister Atishi was barred from meeting climate activist Sonam Wangchuk at Bawana Police Station. Wangchuk and around 120 others, marching for Sixth Schedule status for Ladakh, were detained at the Singhu border.

Delhi Police have beefed up security around the Bawana Police Station where Wangchuk is held. Atishi criticized the BJP and the Lt Governor, accusing them of dictatorship and expressing solidarity with Wangchuk and the people of Ladakh.

AAP leader Arvind Kejriwal and others lambasted the detention, questioning if Delhi is personal property and asserting everyone's right to enter the capital. Meanwhile, political condemnation poured in from across the spectrum, with accusations against the central government of undemocratic practices.
