(File photo)<\/p>\n<\/figure>\n<p id=\"0\" class=\"story_para_0\">A heated war of words erupted between the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and Congress on Saturday after the former called Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi an \u201cagent&#8221; of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) over his purported silence on Ladakh activist Sonam Wangchuk\u2019s arrest.<\/p>\n<p id=\"1\" class=\"story_para_1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/india\/sonam-wangchuk-arrested-days-after-violent-protests-killed-4-in-ladakh-9598295.html\">Sonam Wangchuk was arrested<\/a> on Friday by Leh police, days after violent protests erupted in Ladakh over statehood demands, resulting in the deaths of four people. Wangchuk has been accused of inciting people through his provocative statements during his hunger strike for Ladakh\u2019s inclusion in the Sixth Schedule and for statehood.<\/p>\n<p id=\"2\" class=\"story_para_2\">The AAP strongly condemned his arrest, saying the \u201cdictator&#8221; got scared of Wangchuk\u2019s voice and the people of Ladakh. In a post on X, the AAP targeted Rahul Gandhi by saying, \u201cThe country\u2019s renowned social worker and scientist Sonam Wangchuk has been imprisoned by Modi\u2019s dictatorial government on a false charge of sedition, and the country\u2019s \u2018so-called opposition leader\u2019 Rahul Gandhi has maintained silence.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p id=\"3\" class=\"story_para_3\">\u201cRahul Gandhi had also maintained silence on the BJP\u2019s decision to hold an India-Pakistan match. Now it has become evident to the world that Rahul Gandhi opposes the BJP only on a few issues for the cameras, but on those issues where a wave against the BJP is sweeping the entire country, Rahul Gandhi disappears,&#8221; said the party.<\/p>\n<p id=\"4\" class=\"story_para_4\">\u201cWhy is Rahul Gandhi, who asks how many of our ships were lost in Operation Sindoor, silent on Sonam Wangchuk now?
