Ladakhi people express outrage as talks with India end without progress
NewDelhi: The much-anticipated meeting between Ladakh’s Apex Body (LAB), the Kargil Democratic Alliance (KDA), and the Indian Home Ministry ended without any tangible progress, sparking widespread anger among the people of Ladakh.
According to Kashmir Media Service, New Delhi’s refusal to address the fundamental demands of Ladakhis, including the restoration of their political rights and inclusion in the 6th Schedule, has deepened the sense of alienation and frustration.
The disappointment reverberated through the corridors of power in New Delhi as Ladakh’s leaders openly criticized the Indian government’s policies. Home Minister Amit Shah led the Indian delegation in the talks.
The Leh Apex Body and Kargil Democratic Alliance reaffirmed their commitment to continue advocating for the rights of their people. They lamented the loss of even the basic rights enjoyed prior to the revocation of Jammu and Kashmir’s special status and the subsequent division of the territory into two union territories in August 2019.
