In a post, Sonam Wangchuk's wife Gitanjali Angmo wrote, "When Sonam was detained, BJP IT cell called us anti-national...Today, because we called Congress' protest at PM's residence insincere, Congress trolls are calling us...BJP stooges." Tagging PM Narendra Modi and Rahul Gandhi, she said, "India needs more than just change of government. It needs change in the very grammar of politics."
