Leh: While curfew has been imposed in Leh following the Wednesday clashes, the sources within the establishment insist that the situation didn’t spiral on its own, as it was deliberately engineered.
These sources said that the Center had already fixed Oct 6 for the meeting of High Powered Committee to discuss all issues posed by ABL and KDA and Center also agreed on the new members for HPC as proposed by ABL.
“Upon receiving a request for preponement, some meetings were being considered on Sept 25-26. In fact, centre has always been ready for the talks, and on earlier occasions also talks were also proposed on 25th July, which did not receive a positive response,” said the sources.
Targeting the world-renowned environmentalist, Sonam Wangchuck, the sources said he had hinted at wanting an Arab Spring-style protest in Ladakh.
“His references to Gen Z protests in Nepal now seem like a blueprint. Congress leaders made statements that almost sounded like instructions – talk of pelting stones, bandhs, arson. Why were they so ready? The entire episode smacks of conspiracy motivated by politics and personal gains,” said the sources.
