Ladakh clinches deal with Centre in 7 years, J&K parties say it took 70 and still failed

Ladakh's representatives have secured an in-principle understanding with the Centre for constitutional safeguards. Jammu and Kashmir parties acknowledge this success. They contrast Ladakh's achievement with their own region's prolonged struggle for similar rights. Leaders express disappointment over the decades-long inability of J&K leadership to secure these aspirations. The focus remains on the ongoing demand for statehood and Article 370 restoration.
