Shiv Sena (UBT) Jammu and Kashmir unit chief Manish Sahni expressed deep sorrow, calling the violence and police action in peaceful Leh (which resulted in the death of four people and injuries to 90), a highly unfortunate incident. He urged the central government to fulfill its promises of immediately restoring statehood with special privileges to Jammu and Kashmir and Leh and not to test the patience of the people.
In a press conference held today at the party's state central office, state president Manish Sahni said that what happened in Leh, the most peaceful region, is condemnable. The injustices facing Jammu and Kashmir and Leh show no signs of abating. In August 2019, Leh and Jammu and Kashmir became two union territories, stripping them of their statehood and privileges. All the promises of development, employment, large-scale investment, and peace restoration have proven hollow on the ground.
This is why the public, especially Gen Z, is understandably outraged.
A relief package has not been announced for the disaster-hit Jammu division (despite a month having passed).
Sahni, while advising , said that whatever happened in Leh is the result of the reaction of the frustrated Gen-Z, the frustrated youth of Jammu and Kashmir are in the Gen-Z plus category.
Sahni, recalling the Jammu student movement of 1998 and the 61-day Amarnath land movement on August 31, 2008, demanded the immediate restoration of statehood, along with special privileges, to Leh and Jammu and Kashmir. On this occasion Vice President Balant Singh, Secretary Jasbir Singh were present.

*Self-goal by state BJP leaders: Sahni*
Jammu. Party state president Manish Sahni described a viral video of Kashmiri girls (in which two girls are appealing to Prime Minister Modi to visit Jammu and Kashmir and release a relief package) as a self-goal by BJP leaders.
Sahni said that thousands of crores of rupees are being showered on election-bound states. Relief packages have been announced for disaster-affected states like Punjab, Himachal Pradesh, and others. However, Jammu and Kashmir, the hardest-hit state, has not received a relief package (despite a month having passed). Sahni said that the Jammu division, which supports the BJP, has suffered the most from the disaster.
The BJP is in power at the center, with the Prime Minister and Home Minister all from the BJP. BJP state leaders are using young girls to appeal to their leaders to announce a relief package and visit, which is the biggest proof of the BJP's state leaders' failures and their lack of hearing before the central leaders.
