Kargil leaders to fight battle in SC on Article 370
The Hindu
They express ‘desire to see pre-Aug. 5 position’
Three top leaders from Ladakh’s Kargil district, who challenged the Central government’s August 5, 2019 move in the Supreme Court earlier this week, on Thursday said the leadership of the region had decided “to launch a legal battle against the dilution of Article 370 and express desire to see the pre-August 5 position”. Sajad Kargili, who is among the petitioners, said the Kargil Democratic Alliance (KDA), a grouping of regional parties and local seminaries, had always held that the 2019 decisions were “illegal and unconstitutional”. “The Kargil leadership has now decided to start a legal fight in the Supreme Court, as a false narrative is being woven that the people of Ladakh are happy with the status of Union Territory (UT). We are hopeful the court will do justice. We desire for the pre-August 5 position,” Mr. Kargili told The Hindu.More Related News
