Ladakh Groups Demand Statehood and Sixth Schedule Status
Imagine Ladakh as a special place that wants to be treated a certain way.
Two groups there, LAB and KDA, are asking the government to make Ladakh a state and give it special protections, like the Sixth Schedule.
These groups have been working on this for four years.
They met and told the government they really want these things.
They're worried the government might ignore them or try to stop their efforts.
They want to make sure their voices are heard and their demands are discussed in upcoming meetings.
LAB and KDA held a joint meeting in Leh.
They passed a resolution for statehood and Sixth Schedule status.
The resolution was sent to the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA).
They threatened to intensify agitation if demands are ignored.
LAB and KDA have been demanding for the past four years.
