Meanwhile, Wangchuk shared a video on social media and said that Delhi Police has detained many of his supporters. He raised questions as to why Section 163 of the Indian Civil Security Code (BNSS), which prohibits unauthorized gatherings, is permanently in force in New Delhi. He said that many people had come here to hold a silent protest. It is really sad that he was detained by Delhi Police. This is sad because in the world’s largest democracy one cannot even hold silent protests.
He said that he has been told that Section 163 has been imposed. It is regrettable that the mother of democracy remains under such restrictions throughout the year. Wangchuk said that this section is usually implemented temporarily only when there is a possibility of disruption of law and order. He said that this is a stain on democracy. The courts should take cognizance of this. How can such sections be imposed permanently?
