In the backdrop of Ladakh leadership holding talks with Ministry of Home Affairs and Ladakh government and Centre has taken several measures to woo leaders of Kargil Democratic Alliance (KDA) and Leh Apex Body, Para said instead of joint efforts for J&K, CM's approach often appeared "centred on individual and party outreach". "On 5 August 2019, Ladakh was carved out as a Union Territory without a legislature without elected MLAs, a CM or an Assembly. Yet, with barely 3 lakh people and very little political space, its leadership has secured 16 rounds of dialogue with the GoI and pushed for restoration of a legislature, constitutional safeguards under Article 371, new districts, a new division, job security and even a High Court.That is a significant political effort and a step towards reclaiming what was lost," Para wrote on X. He said that when we compare this with J&K, which has a 90-member Assembly, an elected government, a CM and a full Cabinet, yet appears "politically paralysed". "For seven decades, J&K has watched its constitutional position erode through successive amendments and changes. We never seriously reclaimed, as a state, what was lost," he said. htc...
