Excerpts:What is your first reaction to the government withdrawing NSA against Sonam Wangchuk? We have been saying since the very beginning that all the allegations against Sonam Wangchuk are baseless. Do you see the government’s decision to withdraw the NSA against Sonam Wangchuk as an acknowledgment that invoking such a stringent law against a peaceful movement in Ladakh was a mistake? Because they knew they were going to lose in the Supreme Court, so to save face, they have withdrawn the case. We would have preferred the Supreme Court to strike down the NSA.
