SRINAGAR, 10 June 2024 — Ladakh ke rajnaitik bhavishya par naye matbhed saamne aaye hain, jab Leh Apex Body (LAB) ne central government par arop lagaya ki unhone May 22 ko New Delhi mein hoaye baatcheet ke draft record se mahatvapoorn pravad ko chhod diya hai. LAB member aur prasiddh paryavaranvid Sonam Wangchuk ne kaha ki May 22 ko Union Home Ministry ki ek up-samiti ke saath hoaye meeting mein, bhagidariyon ne sahmati jatai thi ki Ladakh ko ek democratic sanrachna pradan ki jayegi jismein assembly-jaisi body hogi jiske paas legislative, executive, aur financial powers honge, jismein law-making authority bhi shamil hogi. “Yeh tay kiya gaya tha ki Ladakh ko ek tailor-made democratic setup milega jismein assembly-jaisi sanrachna hogi,” Wangchuk ne kaha. Lekin, unhone arop lagaya ki baad mein government dwara taiyar kiye gaye draft mein ek mahatvapoorn pravad ko chhod diya gaya tha jismein kaha gaya tha ki chune gaye pratinidhi bureaucracy par adhikar rakhein honge. “Draft mein legislative aur executive powers ko shaamil kiya gaya tha,” Wangchuk ne samjhaya, “lekin yeh mahatvapoorn baat ki chune gaye pratinidhi bureaucracy se upar honge, woh gayab thi.” Unhone aage kaha ki LAB ne draft mein sudhar ke liye anurodh kiya tha, lekin unhein koi revised version nahin di gayi. LAB ke co-chairman Chering Dorjay Lakrook ne reportedly minutes par sign karne se inkaar kar diya jab unhone dekha ki pravad abhi bhi gayab hai. Iske jawab mein, LAB ne apni meeting ki record jari ki aur chetavani di ki agar Centre zaroori sudhar nahin karta hai, to Ladakh ke logon ko lambi ladai ke liye taiyar rehna hoga, jismein bhook hartal bhi shamil hogi. LAB ke bayan ke kuch ghante baad, Ladakh Chief Secretary Ashish Kundra, jinhone May 22 ki meeting mein bhag liya tha, ne spasht kiya ki summary document ko acche vishwas mein share kiya gaya tha taaki baatcheet ke vistrit parinaam ko darshaya ja sake aur stakeholders se aapattiyan manga gayi hain. Kundra ne jor diya ki baatcheet ne ummidon se upar kiya aur Ladakh ke liye Article 371 ke tahat sanvidhanik framework par charcha ki gayi. Unhone yeh bhi kaha ki baatcheet mein ek customized vyavastha par bhi charcha hui jismein ek aisi body hogi jiske paas rajnaitik, legislative, aur executive powers honge. “Mujhe lagta hai ki sabhi stakeholders ke beech is framework par ek vyaapak sahmati thi,” Kundra ne kaha. Unhone svikar kiya ki abhi bhi kuch vistrit baatein tay karni hain aur jor diya ki koi bhi sanvidhanik badlaav ke liye Parliament ki maanyata ki aavashyakta hogi. Kundra ne samjhaya ki Centre ne Ladakh ke pratinidhiyon se ek draft proposal jama karne ko kaha hai, jabki government apni khud ki version taiyar karegi Law Ministry ke saath charcha ke baad. “Kuch mahino mein yeh ek arthapoorn parinaam tak pahunch sakta hai,” unhone kaha. May 22 ko New Delhi mein hoaye baatcheet mein Leh Apex Body (LAB) aur Kargil Democratic Alliance (KDA) dono ke pratinidhi shaamil the. Baatcheet ki prakriya September 24, 2025 ko ruk gayi thi, jab violent protests ke dauran Leh mein police firing mein chaar log mare gaye the aur 80 se adhik log ghayal ho gaye the. Wangchuk, jinhone protests ko utsahit karne ka arop lagaya tha, ko pehle National Security Act (NSA) ke tahat Jodhpur jail mein rakha gaya tha, lekin Centre ne March 2026 mein unki giriftari ko radd kar diya tha. Unki rihai ke baad, Wangchuk ne baatcheet ki punar-shuruaat ke liye sakriya roop se prayaas kiye hain aur unhone is baar ki baatcheet mein bhi bhag liya. Union Home Ministry ne January 2, 2023 ko Ladakh ke mahatvapoorn maangon ko hal karne ke liye Minister of State for Home Affairs Nityanand Rai ki adhyakshta mein ek samiti ka gathan kiya tha. Samiti ke gathan ke baad se kai dour ki baatcheet ho chuki hain, jo kshetra ke rajnaitik aur prashasnik chintaon ko hal karne ke prayaas ke roop mein hui hain.
