Leh, Kargil differences wide-open, consensus unlikely on vital issues 7/1/2021 11:55:11 PM Early Times Report Jammu, July 1: Differences between representatives of Shia-dominated Kargil and Buddhist majority Leh are widening with every passing day. During their much-awaited meeting with Union Minister of State for Home G Krishan Reddy at Delhi on Thursday, the Kargil Democratic Alliance (KDA) demanded the restoration of Article 370 and Article 35-A. By raising this demand KDA has given a clear indication that they are not going to toe line of the Apex Committee of the Peoples' Movement of Ladakh (Leh). After meeting with the Union Minister, leaders of the KDA delegation made it clear that their agenda was restoration of Article 370 and 35-A and statehood to Ladakh. Eleven-member-delegation comprising representatives of all political, religious, social, and student organizations meet Union Minister to apprise the Centre about their demands especially restoring Article 370 and 35-A. Apex Committee of the Peoples' Movement of Ladakh (Leh) has earlier strongly opposed the demand of KDA to restore Article 370 and 35-A. Leaders of Leh have repeatedly made it clear that they would not support this demand at any cost. Apex Committee has made it clear that coordination with KDA was impossible if they insist on demands like restoring Article 370, 35-A and restoration of pre-August 5, 2019, position. On June 23, Apex Body of Leh had raised the demand of 'UT with the legislature' status. The panel had raised this demand within days after administration of the Union Territory of Ladakh has reserved jobs for local residents only. The Centre has announced to form a committee comprising representatives of Leh and Kargil to initiate dialogue to evolve consensus on all issues. The Centre has decided to involve members of the civil society and religious groups in the proposed committee to give representation to all sections of society.   Share This News with Your Friends on Social Network     Comment on this Story
