J-K Minister Predicts Ladakh's Reunion with Jammu & Kashmir

J-K Minister Predicts Ladakh's Reunion with Jammu & Kashmir

A minister in Jammu and Kashmir, named Javed Rana, said that he thinks Ladakh will soon become part of Jammu and Kashmir again.

He was talking to reporters and said that the Indian government doesn't have any other choice.

He also mentioned that Jammu and Kashmir used to be a full state, but parts of it were given to Pakistan, and Ladakh was separated.

He thinks that if one area in Jammu can become a state, then other areas might want the same.

This is important because the state was split into two parts in 2019, and a special law called Article 370 was removed.

There are protests in Ladakh where people want their own state with special protections.
