SEPT 27: Congress National President Mallikarjun Kharge said, “The Indian National Congress strongly condemns the pathetic handling of the situation in Ladakh by the Government & subsequent arrest of Sonam Wangchuk under the draconian National Security Act.”
On X, Kharge said said, “At the heart of the crisis lies the BJP’s persistent betrayal of the aspirations of people of Ladakh.”
“For over a year now, there has been turmoil and instead of lending a patient hearing to the cries of the people for inclusion under the Sixth Schedule of the Constitution, Modi Government is responding with violence.”
“The BJP had pledged Sixth Schedule status for the region, sadly that promise has been squarely abandoned. The Indian National Congress seeks nothing but peace in Ladakh.”
“For decades, we have ensured that this beautiful border region remains harmonious and secure, upholding both the spirit of Democracy and the cause of National Security.”
Kharge added, “We demand a judicial investigation into the deaths of four innocent young men and the serious injuries inflicted upon many others. The democratic institutions and democracy need to be revived and restored in Ladakh.”
