Ladakh Protest: Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader and former Ladakh MP Jamyang Tsering Namgyal has slammed the killing of four "innocent protestors" during the protest in Leh. Namgyal stated that the issue could be handled with more patience, adding that the incident has shaken public trust in the region. In a letter to Lieutenant Governor Kavinder Gupta, the BJP leader demanded an impartial and transparent judicial inquiry into the matter. He further emphasised that the people of Ladakh are united in their call for peace and accountability.

“The grief of the bereaved families is immeasurable, and the anguish across Ladakh is profound. Citizens seek justice for the innocent lives lost, relief for the injured, and assurance that such a tragedy will never recur. At the same time, there is grave concern that the crisis could have been handled with greater patience. While violence and arson must be condemned, the firing on unarmed protestors has shaken public trust. Ladakh’s people are united in their call for peace, justice, and accountability,” Namgyal wrote in his letter.

Namgyal further stated that the sacrifices of the youth should not go in vein, adding that the locals deserve justice in the matter. “a peaceful democratic expression turned into violence, leaving four young lives lost, many injured, property damaged, and our community gripped by fear,” he stated.

“Ladakh stands at a fragile juncture. The sacrifices of our young men must not go in vain. Our people, who shoulder immense responsibility as guardians of this frontier, deserve governance that is both firm and humane-delivering justice with compassion and addressing grievances with honesty,” Namgyal further stated.
