‘Different flags, same playbook’: Sonam Wangchuk's wife slams BJP, Congress over labels
Gitanjali J Angmo, wife of activist Sonam Wangchuk, criticized the BJP and Congress for applying different labels to her and her husband depending on the situation.
Angmo said BJP supporters called them anti-national and Chinese agents when Wangchuk was detained, and Congress supporters now call them Sanghis and BJP stooges after she termed Congress's protest insincere.
Angmo called for a change in India's political culture, stating the country needs more than a change of government.
In an interview, Angmo described Congress's July 21 protest near PM Modi's residence as lacking sincerity, suggesting it should have been at Jantar Mantar.
Sonam Wangchuk was discharged from a Gurugram hospital on July 27 after ending his 26-day fast, and paid tribute at Rajghat.
