The Home Ministry's Foreigners Division cancelled, with immediate effect, the FCRA registration of the Students' Educational and Cultural Movement of Ladakh (SECMOL), the organisation Wangchuk founded. The order cited violations including a Rs 3.5 lakh deposit into the FCRA account and the receipt of foreign funds for a study it described as on the 'sovereignty of the nation'. SECMOL said the deposit was the sale proceeds of an old bus, and Gitanjali Angmo said the funds were for food sovereignty and that the ministry had misread its reply. [2][3][4][1]
