Sonam Wangchuk further said, that whatever happens is for good, and due to this our message of environmental protection spread across the country. He said, on the occasion of Gandhi Jayanti, we will say that people should make their lives so simple that more people can live. If we follow what Gandhiji taught us, then the deteriorating environment of Ladakh and the Himalayas may not deteriorate.
Sonam Wangchuk said, there are enough things on this earth for everyone’s needs, but not enough for everyone’s excesses. He said, “We have given such a memorandum to the government that they should protect Ladakh in such constitutional provisions so that the Himalayas are protected.” He said they will meet the Prime Minister, President or Home Minister of India in the coming days. He also said that he will go back to Ladakh after a few days.
