Jamyang in his 17-minute speech, welcomed the government’s decision on Kashmir and said the plea of the people of Ladakh had finally been accepted. “Modi hain toh mumkin hain” (If Modi is there it is possible), he said.

“Honourable member from Kashmir was saying after Article 370 is abolished what we would lose. Well I would say ‘two families will lose their livelihood’,” said Jamyang.

“Kashmir will now have a bright future” he said. The people from Kargil voted for the UT status in 2014 parliamentary elections and it topped their manifesto even in 2019 polls, Jamyang said.

“You can recall any war, Ladakhis have always sacrificed for the love of the nation”, he said.
