Ladakh's Democracy Struggle: A Tale of Broken Promises and Power Plays The recent meeting between Ladakhi leaders and the Union government in Delhi has left a sour taste in the mouths of those fighting for democracy in the region.
Sonam Wangchuk, a prominent climate activist and member of the Leh Apex Body (LAB), expressed his disappointment on social media after returning from talks with the Home Ministry.
Despite weeks of protests and negotiations, the Centre failed to provide any concrete assurance that major decisions concerning land allotment and local governance would be put on hold until a democratic government is formed in Ladakh.
