Ladakh Groups Reject Centre's Draft Proposal on Constitutional Safeguards
Ladakh civil society groups, including the Leh Apex Body and Kargil Democratic Alliance, have rejected the Ministry of Home Affairs' draft proposal for constitutional safeguards, calling it a departure from prior assurances. The Centre proposed a two-stage process involving a constitutional amendment and regulation under Article 240, envisioning a directly elected UT-level body but not statehood or a legislature. Ladakh officials emphasize ongoing dialogue and urge patience, while local leaders demand recognition of their demands, including legislative powers and protections under Article 371.
