Claim
Sonam Wangchuk incited 'Nepal/Bangladesh/Sri Lanka-like' violence in his September 2025 speech.
Source coverage: TV channels, pro-BJP users falsely claim Sonam Wangchuk incited violence · The Wire
Rationale
Rated false by Alt News and The Wire: his full 34-minute speech explicitly advocated a peaceful revolution, contrasting Ladakh with those countries. A 2025 Ladakh-episode smear recirculated into the 2026 window.
