The detention of nonviolent activists does not promote national interests

• Good governance and democracy necessitate the ability to address national security issues responsibly.

• The government’s response to demands for greater autonomy should prioritize dialogue over preventive detention of peaceful dissenters.

• Detaining climate activist Sonam Wangchuk under the National Security Act (NSA) for his peaceful advocacy is deemed inappropriate.

• Wangchuk’s non-violent activism aligns with democratic values and addresses the environmental and livelihood concerns of Ladakh residents.

• Recent Supreme Court judgments emphasize the importance of distinguishing between “law and order” and threats to “public order”.

• There is insufficient evidence to categorize Wangchuk’s activism as a threat to public order under the NSA.

• The government’s conflation of dissent with sedition undermines democratic expression.

• Previous misuse of similar laws to suppress dissent, such as with Kashmiri politicians, highlights a troubling trend.

• Ladakh’s genuine aspirations for self-governance require a compassionate and nuanced governmental response.

• Immediate revocation of Wangchuk’s detention and meaningful dialogue with Ladakh’s populace are imperative to avoid further crises.

Nonviolent activists detained unfairly is important topic for Civil service exam (WBCS).
