The government has cancelled the FCRA licence of Sonam Wangchuk’s NGO, Students Educational and Cultural Movement of Ladakh (SECMOL). Officials said the group committed repeated violations of the Foreign Contribution Regulation Act. The action came a day after violent Ladakh protests over statehood that left four dead. The Home Ministry blamed Wangchuk’s speeches for provoking attacks on a BJP office and the election officer’s office. Investigations flagged “serious financial irregularities,” including misuse of foreign donations. Wangchuk, seen as the face of the Ladakh statehood movement, said he is ready to face arrest.
