Srinagar, Jan 10: People\u2019s Democratic Party chief Mehbooba Mufti on Tuesday urged Ladakhis to stand with the people of Jammu and Kashmir for a collective struggle to safeguard their unique identities and interests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The former Jammu and Kashmir chief minister was reacting to reports that Ladakhi leaders had unanimously opted out of the high-powered committee formed by the Union Home Ministry to address their demands, which include granting statehood to Ladakh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cUrge my Ladakhi brothers & sisters to stand with us in our collective fight & struggle for safeguarding our unique identity & interests. For the past three years, a vicious propaganda has been unleashed to create fissures between J&K & Ladakh,\u201d Mehbooba said in a series of tweets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cRelieved that people of Ladakh finally realise that their interests & identity can be saved only if they unite with J&K. They\u2019ve finally called off GOIs bluff & disinterest in granting them statehood & protecting their resources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt\u2019s time we recognise that our struggle will reap dividends only if we stand united,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mehbooba said the decision of Ladakhi leaders to stay away from the panel did not augur well for the Centre as it went against the claim that scrapping Jammu and Kashmir\u2019s special status was acceptable to people of the erstwhile state.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThis certainly doesn\u2019t bode well for GOI especially amidst a border standoff with China & also demolishes their lies that 5th August was beneficial or acceptable for people of J&K including Ladakh,\u201d she said. PTI<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
