Understanding The Anxieties In Ladakh: Sajjad HUssain Kargili, Member of Kargil Democratic Alliance
IN CONVERSATION WITH ANURADHA BHASIN, Managing Editor, Kashmir Times
Crisis in Ladakh has been brewing as Ladakhis are agitating for grant of 6th schedule status, statehood and Public Service Commission. In support of these demands, noted climate activist Sonam Wangchuk has sitting on a hunger strike, and is joined by people from across the region.
Kargil Democratic Alliance leader Sajjad Kargili explains why these demands are crucial for the survival and existence of Ladakhis. He says the revocation of Article 370 was a blunder as it completely disempowered the Ladakhis. We lost political rights, and jobs and are at the threat of losing our lands, he said in a conversation with the Kashmir Times. He also spoke about the hope he finds today in a united Ladakh and Ladakhi resilience.
