Overview
- India’s home ministry revoked Wangchuk’s National Security Act detention, citing a commitment to safeguards for Ladakh and to constructive engagement.
- Wangchuk was freed from Jodhpur Central Jail after roughly 170 days in custody since September 26, 2025, and flew back to a large public welcome in Leh.
- Addressing supporters, he urged peaceful, flexible, give‑and‑take talks with the Centre and framed the next phase as a cooperative effort rather than a contest of victory or defeat.
- He called for relief for people still facing legal action from the Ladakh agitation, fair handling of cases, remembrance of those killed, and support for the injured.
- Leh Apex Body and Kargil Democratic Alliance leaders, who last met the home ministry on February 4 without a breakthrough, are preparing for further consultations and another round of talks.
