Sonam Wangchuk goes to Islamabad to attend ‘Breathe Pakistan’ conference

On Thursday (6th February), controversial Ladakh activist Sonam Wangchuk participated in the ‘Breathe Pakistan’ conference, which was held in the city of Islamabad.

The ‘climate change conference’ was organised by the group ‘Dawn Media’ to create awareness about climate change in Pakistan.

Sonam Wangchuk, who courted controversy for abusing Lord Ram and Sita last year, confirmed his participation in the event through a Facebook video.

He was a part of the panel discussion titled ‘Glacial Melt: A Sustainable Strategy for the Water Towers of South Asia.’

Sonam Wangchuk was heard saying, “Our message to the world always has been please live simply in the big cities so that we in the mountains simply live. And this message needs to reach the whole world and I am so happy that media and leadership have a great role to play.

“In Pakistan, I see Dawn Media is taking that responsibility as a champion of environment. I wish all countries and in my country and media house really take this responsibility like here,” he had stated during the ‘Breathe Pakistan’ conference.
