Ladakh Activists Begin Indefinite Hunger Strike Demanding Inclusion in Sixth Schedule

Ladakh, India – A group of prominent activists from Ladakh have commenced an indefinite hunger strike, demanding the inclusion of the Union Territory under the Sixth Schedule of the Indian Constitution. This action follows prolonged appeals to the central government to provide constitutional safeguards to protect the unique culture, identity, and land rights of the region’s indigenous communities.

The hunger strike, which began on [insert date], is being led by key figures from Ladakh’s social and political organizations. Their primary demand is that the Sixth Schedule be extended to Ladakh to ensure the preservation of the region’s cultural heritage and its fragile ecosystem, which activists argue are at risk due to rapid changes since the bifurcation of Jammu and Kashmir in 2019.

Activists claim that since Ladakh became a Union Territory, its traditional autonomy has been compromised, making it vulnerable to outside influences that could erode the indigenous way of life. The Sixth Schedule provides special provisions for the administration of tribal areas, granting them greater control over their land, resources, and governance through autonomous district councils.

"Ladakh's people have always been the protectors of this region’s unique identity and environment. The Sixth Schedule is the only way to safeguard this legacy for future generations," said [insert activist name], one of the hunger strikers.

Despite several rounds of discussions with the central government, no concrete action has been taken so far to meet these demands, leading to frustration among the local population. The protesters vow to continue their hunger strike until their demands are met, emphasizing that their movement is peaceful and aims to draw attention to the urgency of constitutional protection.

The situation in Ladakh is being closely watched, with local residents and various social groups expressing solidarity with the hunger strikers. As the protest continues, pressure is mounting on the government to respond to the concerns of Ladakh’s people and address their demand for inclusion under the Sixth Schedule.

The coming days will determine how the central government handles the growing unrest in the strategically significant region.

Congress fighting poll in alliance with NC to restore 370: BJP National President & Union Minister Shri J.P.Nadda

05/10/2024

After more than 5 years, mostly spent under house detention, when J&K, in the August of 2019, went through the rude shock and humiliation of losing its semi-autonomous status, was broken into two parts, downgraded to a union territory of India, followed by a no-holds-barred clampdown and communication blackout, I return to this platform with the same hope of peace and justice for the people of Jammu & Kashmir that I have always desired. Despite increased challenges, the resolve for peaceful resolution of the conflict remains stronger than ever. Generations of Kashmiris have been consumed by the uncertainty. We want an end to it, a fair closure. India and Pakistan have a real opportunity at the upcoming SCO Summit to break the ice and engage constructively. Hope they heed to it.

Farooq Abdullah Rejects Alliance with BJP, Awaits Official Election Results.

In a significant political statement ahead of the October 8 election results, veteran leader Farooq Abdullah has categorically ruled out any possibility of an alliance with the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). Addressing the media, Abdullah emphasized that he places no trust in exit polls, and will only make further political decisions after the official election results are announced.

"I don’t believe in exit polls at all. I am waiting until the boxes are opened on October 8," Abdullah firmly stated, underscoring his skepticism towards pre-election surveys. This declaration has stirred political circles, especially in light of speculation about potential post-election alliances.

Abdullah's National Conference party, traditionally opposed to the BJP, has reiterated its stance of maintaining a clear ideological distance from the ruling party at the center, with Abdullah adding, "We will not go with the BJP for an alliance."

The upcoming election results are expected to shape the political landscape of the region, and Abdullah’s rejection of a BJP alliance has added a new dimension to the unfolding drama.
