Leh, March 9 | In a bid to come on a united platform to intensify activities for the union territory status demand for Ladakh by separating the Ladakh region from the state, political parties and religious organisations based in Leh have constituted a joint committee consisting of their presidents as its members.

The committee was named the All Religious-Political Action Committee on Union Territory Status for Ladakh during a meeting held yesterday. The joint meeting of religious organisations and political parties on the UT status issue was held for the second time in a row after Justice Sagir Ahmad (retd) headed working group rejected the UT status demand for Ladakh.

Spokesman for the District Congress Committee, Leh, Tsewang Rigzin, who attended the meeting, said, “Both religious organisations and political parties have condemned the recent statement of MP Hassan Khan opposing the demand of the UT status.”

The meetings was attended by representatives of the Congress, BJP, BSP, PDP, LUTF and religious organisations, including the Ladakh Gonpa Association, Ladakh Anjuman Imamia (Shia Muslim), Ladakh Anjuman Moin-ul- Islam (Sunni Muslim) and the Ladakh Christian Association.
