Ladakh celebrates Article 370 abrogation, says BJP MP Jamyang Tsering Namgyal

Bharatiya Janata Party MP from Ladakh Jamyang Tsering Namgyal on Saturday said he was happy that Ladakh was discussed at the United Nations Security Council meeting on Friday after the Narendra Modi-led administration decided to repeal Article 370, taking away Jammu and Kashmir’s special status and splitting the region into two Union Territories, ANI reported.

“Earlier when Congress was in power, Ladakh was not even discussed in the Parliament let alone at the UN council,” the parliamentarian was quoted as saying by ANI.

China, a permanent member of the UNSC and an ally of Pakistan, had sought the meeting of the UN Security Council to discuss the developments in Jammu and Kashmir.
