NEW DELHI: Gitanjali J Angmo, wife of activist Sonam Wangchuk, on Monday criticised both the BJP and the Congress, saying political rivals used the same playbook to label those who disagreed with them.“When Wangchuk was detained, the BJP IT cell called us anti-national, Chinese agents, foreign-funded, and every other label they could manufacture. Today, because we called the Congress’ protest at PM’s residence insincere, Congress trolls are calling us Sanghis, RSS and BJP stooges,” Angmo said in a post on X.“Different flags. Same playbook. The rot has infected our entire political culture.”She added that India needed more than just a change of government. “It needs a change in the very grammar of politics, where disagreement is met with dialogue, not demonisation; where patriotism is measured by integrity, not party affiliation; and where truth matters more than tribal loyalty.”Angmo had previously criticised the flash protest led by Congress leader Rahul Gandhi outside PM Modi’s residence on July 21, calling it “insincere.”“The protest outside the PM’s house lacked sincerity. It would have been more sincere if it had been done by joining hands at Jantar Mantar. So, the public cannot be fooled anymore. This is an awakened India,” Angmo said in an interview.
