"Result of five years of deceit": JKPCC President Tariq Hameed Karra on Ladakh protest

Srinagar (Jammu and Kashmir) [India], September 28 (ANI): The JKPCC President Tariq Hameed Karra addressed the Ladakh protests on Sunday. Speaking to mediapersons, he claimed that this ongoing agitation is a result of five years of deceit and unfulfilled commitments.
"The current agitation is a result of the deceit of the last five years and the unfulfillment of commitments..." Karra told reporters.
During the discussion of the Ladakh agitation and its resulting violence, Karra alleged that the current protesters were the same individuals who had celebrated the abrogation of Article 370 and had been utilised by the government during that time.
"Today, we want to address a very sensitive and nationally significant issue: the situation in Ladakh. Four people have already died, and around 90 have been injured... Those protesting against the Government of India and local administration are the same individuals who were used by the government during the abrogation of Article 370. They were happy when Article 370 was abrogated..." said Karra.
Earlier today, Congress MP and Lok Sabha Leader of the Opposition Rahul Gandhi asked the Centre to "give them the 6th Schedule." He alleged that Ladakh's people, culture, and traditions are "under attack by the BJP and RSS."
In a post on X, Gandhi said, "Ladakh's amazing people, culture, and traditions are under attack by the BJP and RSS. Ladakhis asked for a voice. The BJP responded by killing four young men and jailing Sonam Wangchuk. Stop the killing. Stop the violence. Stop the intimidation. Give Ladakh a voice. Give them the 6th Schedule."
Meanwhile, a total of 44 people have been arrested in connection with the violence that occurred in Leh on September 24, which resulted in the deaths of four individuals. Among those arrested is Sonam Wangchuk, a prominent activist and advocate for the implementation of the 6th Schedule in Ladakh. He had been on a hunger strike, which he ended just as the violence broke out.
Later on September 26, two days after the police fired during the protests, leading to the deaths, Wangchuk was detained under the National Security Act (NSA) and is currently being held in Jodhpur jail in Rajasthan. He has been accused of inciting violence. (ANI)
