There is no media coverage of sonam because central government does not like his demands.

Laddakh is in a very strategic area where central govt has to continue to oversee it's development. It cannot be handed to state govt just like Delhi is.

[@rr9982]

Please Modi ji we love you and Ladakh , please be reasonable with People of Ladakh

[@mohdnazim3243]

You can only protest if they have mercy in their heart

[@sauravmishra5545]

Have the courage to bear the responsibility of being the 4th pillar of democracy, do give support to such individuals and ask your reporters to take an interview if they do any. Thanks.

Granting UT with legislature would be OK , but granting statehood would be a big mistake. Because it will give opportunity to J&K people to get statehood too. It will be a blunder, because law & order is a state subject. We will go back to pre Art 370 days!
