Gitanjali Angmo, wife of education reformer and activist Sonam Wangchuk, on Tuesday rejected police claims linking her husband to a Pakistani intelligence operative, calling it a “fabricated narrative” aimed at derailing Ladakh’s demand for constitutional safeguards under the Sixth Schedule.
Angmo, who co-founded the Himalayan Institute of Alternatives Ladakh (HIAL) with Wangchuk, accused authorities of framing her husband to avoid addressing the region’s long-standing political demands.

In an interview with ANI, she said, “WeWe strongly condemn the DGP’s statements. Not only I, but everyone in Ladakh denounces those allegations… This narrative is being fabricated to blame and frame someone, allowing them to do whatever they want.”
She questioned the use of force against protestors in Leh, where violent clashes on September 24 left four people dead and several others injured.
“Who gave the CRPF orders to open fire? Who shoots at their own people, their own citizens? Especially in an area where there has never been a violent demonstration,” she said. “What could Sonam Wangchuk have instigated? He had no idea about all this. He was somewhere else, where he was on a hunger strike.”
