Mithilesh Bhati, who became widely known online for the 2023 phrase “Lappu Sa Sachin,” appears at Delhi’s Jantar Mantar to show support for engineer and activist Sonam Wangchuk. Both reports say Bhati joins the protest while Wangchuk continues an indefinite hunger strike at the site. When journalists ask her about “lappu” again, Bhati responds that the system is becoming “lappu,” repeating the kind of wordplay that originally drew viral attention.
The outlets also link her recent visibility to her earlier internet fame. In 2023, Bhati’s remarks during a television interview, made during the Seema Haider–Sachin Meena controversy, helped turn “Lappu Sa Sachin” into a widely used catchphrase. The current visit again leads to media interaction and social media sharing, with video clips of her comments circulating after her arrival.
Wangchuk’s protest is described as being tied to demands for stronger constitutional safeguards for Ladakh, including statehood and protections intended to preserve the region’s ecology, culture, and local identity.
