Sonam Wangchuk Announces Leh Chalo Andolan Over Ladakh Demands
Sonam Wangchuk has announced a planned march called the Leh Chalo Andolan.
The march is proposed for September 19 through September 24.
He says the government has one week to give assurances about the issue.
If the government provides assurances, the march will remember people who sacrificed their lives for Ladakh.
Wangchuk says the march could instead become a much larger protest if no assurances are given.
People from across the country could join that demonstration.
Saurav Das of CJP called for support for Wangchuk’s campaign.
The stated goal is to demand justice for Ladakh.
Sonam Wangchuk announced the Leh Chalo Andolan and appealed for public support.
The proposed padyatra is scheduled from September 19 to September 24.
Wangchuk said the government has one week to provide assurances on the issue.
If assurances are given, the march will be held as a memorial padyatra for those who sacrificed their lives for Ladakh.
Without assurances, Wangchuk said the mobilisation could become a nationwide demonstration demanding justice for Ladakh.
