Congress Councillor Phuntsog Stanzin Tsepag has said that he was not involved in violent protests in Ladakh that killed four people on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

His clarification came after the BJP alleged that he instigated the mob and participated in violence that targeted the offices of the BJP and the Hill Council.<\/p>\n

In a video shared by Congress spokesperson Supriya Shrinate, the Congress Councillor said he will file a defamation lawsuit against those who linked him with violence.<\/p>\n

\u201cSome people are saying that I was involved in the Ladakh violence; this is absolutely wrong. The person appearing in that video is not me. I will file a defamation lawsuit against all the people who are saying wrong things,” he said.<\/p>\n

Hours after the BJP office in Leh was set on fire, BJP IT cell chief Amit Malviya shared a photo and said Congress Councillor Phuntsog Stanzin Tsepag instigated people to violence.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis man rioting in Ladakh is Phuntsog Stanzin Tsepag, Congress Councillor for Upper Leh Ward. He can be clearly seen instigating the mob and participating in violence that targeted the BJP office and the Hill Council. Is this the kind of unrest Rahul Gandhi has been fantasising about?” he wrote on X.<\/p>\n

Four people were killed in firing when the police tried to control violent protests for statehood in Ladakh on Wednesday.\u00a0At least 50 people have been detained so far in connection with the violence that broke out on Wednesday during the shutdown called by Leh Apex Body (LAB) to demand an extension of the Sixth Schedule and statehood for Ladakh.<\/p>\n

Former minister and Congress leader Nawang Rigzin Jora has also challenged the government\u2019s accusation that the party was behind inciting the people for the violence. \u201cThere is a lot of blame game going around. Some of these are targeting the Congress councillor for leading the mob on the basis of a purported photograph. Nothing can be further from the truth. We challenge the administration on this count,” the Congress Ladakh president said.<\/p>\n
