After the BJP alleged Congress' involvement behind the Ladakh protests, Activist Sonam Wangchuk said that he doesn't believe the Congress holds such influence over the Ladakh youth to mobilise them for protests.
"Congress doesn't have such influence here that it can manage to get 5000 youth on the roads," Wangchuk said in a press conference on Wednesday
Wangchuk's remark came in response to the allegation levied by Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Amit Malviya that Congress Councillor Phuntsog Stanzin Tsepag "instigated" the protestors who attacked the BJP office in Leh.
