CPI(M) Condemns Brutal Repression in Ladakh

The Polit Bureau of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) strongly condemns the brutal repression unleashed by the Union Territory administration under the central government against the people of Ladakh. This violent crackdown has resulted in the tragic loss of four lives and left several others injured.

For the past six years, the people of Ladakh have been demanding statehood, with a fully empowered legislature, as well as the inclusion of the region under the Sixth Schedule of the Constitution. This would grant them the constitutional safeguards and benefits enjoyed by the people in many northeastern states. The demand for these rights has been consistently ignored by the BJP-led central government.
