Actor Prakash Raj visited climate activist Sonam Wangchuk, who has been on hunger strike for nearly three weeks in Leh, demanding statehood for Ladakh and its inclusion in the Sixth Schedule of the Constitution.
Mr. Raj, a vocal critic of the ruling BJP, extended his support to the Mr. Wangchuk-led protest and said when the governments do not keep their promises, the people have no option but to unite and raise their voices in accordance with their constitutional rights.
“It’s my birthday today .. and I’m celebrating by showing solidarity with @Wangchuk66 and the people of Ladakh who are fighting for us .. our country .. our environment and our future…let’s stand by them,” he wrote on X.
