After the Ladakh violence, BJP claimed that Congress leaders incited the violence, and posted videos and photographs of local Congress leaders leading the violent mob
Leh witnessed violent clashes during statehood protests, leaving dozens injured and reports of casualties. Restrictions were imposed, while Sonam Wangchuk urged youth to maintain peace, ending his strike amid mounting criticism of the Centre’s slow response.
Pakistani accounts are amplifying the fake narrative that Sonam Wangchuk is somehow being victimised by the Indian government. They are deliberately misleading about the internal matter of India and characterising the decision by the Ladakh administration as a 'political move to silence voices demanding statehood.'
Quoting CM Omar, PM Modi wrote on X, "I am eagerly awaiting my visit to Sonamarg, Jammu and Kashmir, for the tunnel inauguration. You rightly point out the benefits for tourism and the local economy. Also, loved the aerial pictures and videos!”
Meanwhile, in Kargil security was heightened ahead of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visit to the Kargil War Memorial on the occasion of the 25th Kargil Vijay Diwas 2024.
The seizure was made on July 9 during a Long Range Patrolling operation launched in the Southern Sub Sector, covering areas such as Chismule, Narbula top, Zakle, and Zakla. The ITBP team was deployed to check infiltration and smuggling attempts along the border.
