    Govt was 'actively engaged with Apex Body Leh and Kargil democratic alliance'

    New Delhi: After protests in Ladakh, the Union home ministry in a statement said the government has been actively engaged with Apex Body Leh and Kargil Democratic Alliance. “Series of meetings were held with them through the formal channel of high-powered committee as well as sub-committee and multiple informal meetings with leaders,” the MHA said.”The process of dialogue through this mechanism has yielded phenomenal results by increasing reservations for Ladakh Scheduled Tribe from 45% to 84%, providing 1/3 women reservations in the councils and declaring Bhoti and Purgi as official languages. With this, a process for recruitment of 1,800 posts was also commenced,” as per the official statement.The government officials noted that certain “politically motivated individuals” were not happy with the progress made under HPC and have been trying to sabotage the dialogue process. The next HPC meeting has been scheduled on October 6 while meetings are also planned on September 25-26 with the leaders from Ladakh.”The demands on which Sonam Wangchuk was on hunger strike are an integral part of the discussion in HPC. In spite of many leaders urging to call off the hunger strike, he continued with it and misled the people through provocative mention of Arab Spring-style protest and references to Gen Z protests in Nepal,” officials said.”On September 24, at around 11:30 am, a mob motivated by his provocative speeches left the venue of the hunger strike and attacked a political party office as well as the government office of the CEC Leh. They also put these offices on fire, attacked the security personnel, and torched a police vehicle. The unruly mob attacked the police personnel in which more than 30 police and CRPF personnel were injured. The mob continued to destroy the public property and attack the police personnel. In self-defence, police had to resort to firing in which unfortunately some casualties were reported. Barring a few unfortunate incidents that happened early in the day, the situation is under control, officials added.Live Events”The government stands committed to the aspiration of the people of Ladakh by providing adequate constitutional safeguards. It is also requested that the people should not circulate the old and provocative videos in the media and social media,” said the MHA.Add as a Reliable and Trusted News Source Add Now!
