Ladakh Protesters Rally In Leh And Kargil Demanding Statehood, Sixth Schedule Protesters in Leh and Kargil gathered today to demand greater autonomy for the region, focusing on four key demands: the restoration of Ladakh’s statehood, inclusion under the Sixth Schedule of the Constitution, creation of job opportunities, and protection of cultural security. The demonstration, organized by the Leh Apex Body and the Kargil Democratic Alliance (KDA), was conducted peacefully to emphasize the community’s long-standing grievances. Independent Member of Parliament Haji Mohammad Haneefa Jan, who addressed the crowd, stated that the protests have persisted for four to five years without resolution. He highlighted that the most recent high-power committee meeting failed to produce any actionable outcomes, and no further discussions have been planned. The rally aimed to bring the concerns of Ladakh’s residents directly to the Home Ministry, urging immediate government engagement and dialogue to address the region’s political and developmental aspirations. Participants stressed the importance of peaceful public mobilization as a means to draw attention to their demands, which they argue have remained unmet despite repeated calls for dialogue. The protest underscores the ongoing struggle for recognition and self-governance in Ladakh, with activists insisting that the region’s unique identity and needs require urgent legislative and administrative intervention.#home_ministry #ladakh #ladakh #leh_apex_body #kargil_democratic_alliance #haji_mohammad_haneefa_jan
