Jammu -Blaming the BJP-led government for the violence in Ladakh that resulted in the death of four people, the Jammu and Kashmir unit of the Congress on Thursday appealed to the people of the neighbouring Union Territory to seek resolution of their legitimate demands through peaceful dialogue.

In a joint statement issued here, several leaders of the Pradesh Congress Committee (PCC), including working president Raman Bhalla, said the situation that emerged in Leh town on Wednesday is quite worrisome, as the people of Ladakh are peace-loving in nature, are great patriots and have always fought bravely against the misadventures and mischief of the neighbouring country.

They accused the BJP and the Centre of ignoring the“legitimate demands” of the people of Ladakh, like various safeguards and political rights, leading to the emergence of the present situation.

“The BJP is now indulging in a blame game as part of their tactics to divert the real issues and their failure to deal with the situation,” the statement said.

It was referring to the BJP's charges that the violence was instigated by the opposition party and climate activist Sonam Wangchuk.“It (charges levelled by the BJP) is also an insult to the people of Ladakh,” the statement said.
