Kargil Congress and NC on May 1 announced Haji Hanifa Jan as INDIA bloc candidate. However, Congress high command in Delhi has not cleared the name yet. 

Ladakh LS polls: Kargil Congress shows support to NC candidate Haji Hanifa, Leh unit says 'not our pick'

Kargil Congress and NC on May 1 announced Haji Hanifa Jan as INDIA bloc candidate. However, Congress high command in Delhi has not cleared the name yet.&nbsp;

Kargil Congress and the National Conference on May 1 proposed the name of Haji Hanifa Jan as the Indian National Developmental Inclusive Alliance (INDIA) bloc candidate for the Ladakh Parliament seat.&nbsp;
A joint press conference organised by the leaders of the NC and Congress in Kargil took place. A Congress spokesperson said, "We have had multiple rounds of consultations within the alliance partners and the stakeholders. Haji Hanifa Jan has emerged as a consensus candidate."
However, Jan's name has not yet been cleared by the Congress high command in Delhi.&nbsp;
Kargil Congress and NC said that if another candidate emerges from this district then both the parties will show support to Hanifa Jan as an independent candidate.&nbsp;
BJP has nominated former Leh BJP President and ex-Leh Hill Development Council Chairman Tashi Gyalson. The incumbent BJP MP Jamyang Tsering did not secure a BJP ticket this time and he is planning to contest independently.&nbsp;
Since 1967, Congress has won six times from this seat, NC twice, independents thrice, and BJP only twice. The last time, Congress won from this seat was in 1998. NC won in 1998 and 1999. In 2004 and 2009, independent candidates won from this seat. BJP has been winning from this seat since 2014.&nbsp;

The Apex Body, Leh (ABL), and the KDA -- both separate groupings of various political, social and religious organisations representing the two districts -- are jointly spearheading the agitation for various demands.

Shops, markets closed in Kargil to demand statehood for Ladakh

The Apex Body, Leh (ABL), and the KDA -- both separate groupings of various political, social and religious organisations representing the two districts -- are jointly spearheading the agitation for various demands.

Shops and business establishments were closed as thousands of people marched on Wednesday in support of their demand for statehood and Ladakh's inclusion in the Sixth Schedule of the Constitution.
Separately, the hunger strike by climate activist Sonam Wangchuk in Leh to "remind" the BJP-led Centre of its promise to safeguard the Union Territory's fragile ecology and unique indigenous tribal culture entered its 15th day.
Responding to a call from the Kargil Democratic Alliance (KDA), which announced a half-day strike and a protest rally in the town to express solidarity with Wangchuk, a large number of people took out a rally from Fatima Chowk to Hussaini Park via the main market and raised slogans demanding statehood for Ladakh and its inclusion under the Sixth Schedule.
All shops and business establishments remained closed while those taking part in the procession held up banners, some of which read "Ladakh demands statehood and Sixth Schedule" and "Save Ladakh, Save Democracy".
The Apex Body, Leh (ABL), and the KDA -- both separate groupings of various political, social and religious organisations representing the two districts -- are jointly spearheading the agitation for various demands.
The two groups have been demanding statehood for Ladakh and its inclusion under the Sixth Schedule of the Constitution over the past four years.
The provisions of Article 370 of the Constitution, which gave a special status to Jammu and Kashmir, were abrogated on August 5, 2019, and the erstwhile state was bifurcated into the Union Territories of Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh.
The KDA leadership addressed a huge gathering at Hussaini Park and urged the people to prepare for a long struggle following the failure of its talks with the Centre.
They also announced the commencement of a hunger strike in Kargil from March 24.
"We want resolution of our main demands through dialogue but the central government closed the door of talks on March 4 by rejecting both our main demands -- statehood and (inclusion under) Sixth Schedule -- compelling the people to hit the roads," Asgar Ali Karbalai, the KDA's co-chairman, told reporters after the rally.
He added the people of Ladakh are determined to carry forward the struggle for their rights.
"We had several rounds of talks with the government of India but, unfortunately, they have been rude and gave cold-shoulder responses. They (government) believe that they will suppress the people of Ladakh with the might of their power but this is not going to happen as we will remain steadfast and raise the demands forcefully in the coming days," he said.
Karbalai said the KDA leadership is leaving for Leh on Thursday and will meet the ABL leadership to chalk out a joint strategy and roadmap to carry forward the agitation with more vigour.
"We are united and the people of Kargil will always remain in the forefront of the agitation," he said.
In Leh, Wangchuk said he is fine surviving on just water and salts.
"Along with me, 125 people slept hungry outdoors under clear skies (in minus 11 degrees Celsius). Let us understand that saving Ladakh's glaciers is not just a concern for the people of Ladakh alone," he said in a post on X.
Wangchuk, through a video message, said the hunger strike is meant to remind the Centre of its promises to safeguard Ladakh's fragile ecology and its unique indigenous tribal culture.
"&hellip;We all know global warming melts these (Himalayan) glaciers but many of us don't know is that apart from global warming, which has to do with the lifestyle of the people in all the cities of the world, what affects the glaciers equally is the black carbon or soot that is released by local human activities," he said.
He said when the glaciers go away, the locals in Ladakh will become "climate refugees" because these are their lifeline.
The activist said, "But this will also mean that the entire north India will not have water reserves from winters till spring. They will only have rainfall, which is erratic and not dependable." Wangchuk further said, "This does not affect only us in Ladakh, it is your problem also and, therefore, we should on one hand change the lifestyle of people in big cities and secondly demand from the government to safeguard this sacred water reservoir of the nation -- the abode of Shiva from the attacks of industrial and mining lobbies and that is why people in Ladakh are demanding Sixth Schedule safeguards." CPI(M) leader Mohammed Yousuf Tarigami also extended support to the people of Ladakh on the issue.
"We never desired for Ladakh to be separated from the (erstwhile) state of Jammu and Kashmir. Yet, it happened abruptly against our wishes. While a faction of society in Leh were demanding Union Territory status for Ladakh and celebrated it later, they now acknowledge the drawbacks and express a preference for constitutional guarantees for their empowerment," he said in a statement.
"We share a common history and concerns for Ladakh, resonating deeply with the aspirations of its people. It's imperative for the government to heed their voices and address their grievances promptly," he added.&nbsp;

Observed on 26th July every year, the Kargil Vijay Diwas commemorates the success of the Indian Armed Forces in Operation Vijay. It was on this day, 22 years ago, that the Indian Armed Forces recaptured all the Indian posts which had been illegally occupied by the Pakistani intruders in key strategic locations of the Kargil-Dras region. The Kargil war witnessed several casualties and loss of life on both sides of the LOC.
The day aims at paying homage to the raw courage, unmatched valour and sacrifice of our brave soldiers. In an attempt to remember the supreme sacrifice made by our soldiers in this conflict, a War Memorial has been constructed at Dras. The memorial known as the &ldquo;Kargil War Memorial&rdquo; holds within itself the Amar Jawan Jyoti, the Manoj Pandey Gallery and the Veer Bhoomi.
To date, Operation Vijay continues to be regarded as one of the finest victories in Indian military history. The unwavering strength and ferocity with which the soldiers fought against the enemy strongholds shall forever be remembered.&nbsp; &nbsp;
The &ldquo;Shaurya &rdquo; of the soldiers of the Indian Armed Forces shall continue to kindle pride and honour within the hearts of future generations for times to come.
