Ladakh Groups Submit 29-Page Plan to MHA Seeking Statehood, Sixth Schedule, Amnesty

The submission signals resumed engagement with the Home Ministry following a judicial probe into the September 24 violence.

Overview

  • The Leh Apex Body and Kargil Democratic Alliance delivered a consolidated 29-page draft to the Ministry of Home Affairs as the basis for ongoing negotiations.
  • The document presses for full statehood for Ladakh and constitutional protections under the Sixth Schedule.
  • The proposal requests a general amnesty for everyone arrested after the September 24 clashes, explicitly naming climate activist Sonam Wangchuk.
  • Wangchuk remains detained under the National Security Act in Jodhpur, and the government has alleged he instigated unrest that left four dead and nearly 100 injured with vandalism reported.
  • Talks resumed after the Centre ordered a judicial inquiry led by a former Supreme Court judge, and no government commitment on the demands has been announced.
