The unrest stems from frustrations over lack of statehood and local governance since Ladakh became a Union Territory in 2019. On Aug 5th, 2019 as Article 370 was abrogated; the Modi Govt had bifurcated Jammu and Kashmir and made Ladakh a union territory without legislature.
It is this over 'centralised' governance mechanism that seems to be working in people's mind.
“Ladakh wasn’t even promised Statehood, they celebrated UT status in 2019 & they feel betrayed & angry," - J-K Chief Minister Omar Abdullah
“On 24th September, at around 11.30 AM, a mob instigated by (Sonam Wangchuk's) provocative speeches left the venue of the hunger strike and attacked a political party office as well as Government office of the CEC (chief electoral officer), Leh,” the Ministry of Home Affairs said in its statement on Wednesday evening.
The statement said the protestors put these offices on fire, attacked the security personnel, and torched police vehicle. The unruly mob attacked the police personnel in which more than 30 police/CRPF personnel were injured, it added.
BJP leader Amit Malviya shared photos and videos of the violence in Leh and linked Congress to it.
"This man rioting in Ladakh is Phuntsog Stanzin Tsepag, Congress Councillor for Upper Leh Ward. He can be clearly seen instigating the mob and participating in violence that targeted the BJP office and the Hill Council," Malviya posted on X.
"Is this the kind of unrest Rahul Gandhi has been fantasising about," asked the BJP leader.
Congress MP and the Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi had recently exhorted the youth and Gen Z of India to save democracy and the alleged election manipulation.
Rahul’s reference to India's Gen Z came soon after violent protests by the young people in Nepal now known as the ‘Gen Z protests’ led to the fall of the KP Sharma Oli government earlier this month.
