He reiterated that the <strong>BJP firmly stands by the constitutionality and necessity<\/strong> of the <strong>abrogation of Article 370 and 35A<\/strong>, which he termed as essential for the integration of Jammu &amp; Kashmir and Ladakh with the <strong>rest of India<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In a statement issued today, Namgyal said, \u201cThis <strong>landmark decision<\/strong>, passed with the approval of the <strong>Indian Parliament<\/strong>, was a reflection of the <strong>collective will<\/strong> of the nation to ensure equal rights and opportunities for all citizens, including those in Jammu &amp; Kashmir and Ladakh.\u201d He added, \u201cThe claim that this decision was unconstitutional is unfounded and misleads the public. The removal of these provisions was essential to integrate these regions fully into the fabric of <strong>Bharat<\/strong>, fostering <strong>unity, equality<\/strong>, and <strong>national strength<\/strong>. It has paved the way for <strong>equitable development<\/strong> and the <strong>protection of fundamental rights<\/strong> for all residents.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The former MP emphasized that the move to make Ladakh a <strong>separate Union Territory<\/strong> had significantly accelerated its <strong>development<\/strong>, preserved its <strong>unique cultural heritage<\/strong>, and opened new avenues for <strong>economic<\/strong> and <strong>infrastructural growth<\/strong>. &#8220;This historic change has empowered Ladakhis, who now have the autonomy to voice our aspirations directly, ensuring our development is tailored to our unique needs,&#8221; Namgyal remarked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Referring to the statement by the <strong>JKNC leader<\/strong>, Namgyal said it was an attempt to impose a <strong>narrow interpretation<\/strong> that does not reflect the <strong>varied sentiments<\/strong> of the region&#8217;s people. \u201cSuch <strong>misinterpretations<\/strong> only serve to deepen political divides and hinder <strong>forward-looking progress<\/strong>,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Namgyal also criticized the <strong>INDI Alliance<\/strong> for supporting the <strong>JKNC\u2019s push<\/strong> to reinstate <strong>Article 370 and 35A<\/strong> and revert to pre-1953 conditions, calling it <strong>regressive<\/strong> and a move that posed significant <strong>security risks<\/strong>. \u201cHistorically, these provisions contributed to an environment that enabled <strong>terrorism, stone-pelting<\/strong>, and <strong>gun culture<\/strong> to take root, destabilizing the erstwhile State of Jammu &amp; Kashmir. By advocating for a return to these provisions, the <strong>JKNC risks reviving an era marked by violence and unrest<\/strong>, which the people of <strong>Ladakh<\/strong> and the <strong>peace-loving people<\/strong> of the broader region have no desire to revisit,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Namgyal concluded by reaffirming that the people of Ladakh are committed to <strong>progress, peace, and development<\/strong>, and the <strong>abrogation of Article 370 and 35A<\/strong> was a crucial step towards ensuring a brighter future for the region.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Senior BJP leader and former Member of Parliament, Tsering Namgyal, has asserted that the abrogation of Article 370 and 35A was not only a Constitutional milestone&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":57956,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[29,4601,30],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-57955","post","has-post-thumbnail","category-jammu","category-jammu-and-kashmir","category-kashmir"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/earlypostdaily.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/57955","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/earlypostdaily.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/earlypostdaily.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/earlypostdaily.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/earlypostdaily.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=57955"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/earlypostdaily.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/57955\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":57957,"href":"https:\/\/earlypostdaily.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/57955\/revisions\/57957"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/earlypostdaily.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/57956"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/earlypostdaily.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=57955"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/earlypostdaily.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=57955"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/earlypostdaily.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=57955"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
