#WATCH | Delhi: On Ladakh leaders' committee talks, BJP leader Tashi Gyalson says, "... The committee’s dialogue was very positive and constructive. I consider this a major breakthrough, as many long‑pending issues were finally addressed. Key discussions centred on Ladakh’s financial viability and how it can sustain itself in the future, as well as the need for Ladakh‑specific customised safeguards given its unique context and dynamics. Deliberations focused on how best to secure Ladakh while aligning with the national perspective. From the very beginning, the government’s intention towards Ladakh has been positive."
