Climate activist calls on citizens to vote wisely as climate fast nears the end
Climate activist Sonam Wangchuk
Climate activist Sonam Wangchuk, who is leading a hunger strike here to demand statehood for Ladakh and its inclusion in the Sixth Schedule of the Constitution, on Tuesday made a fresh appeal to Prime Minister Narendra Modi to fulfil promises made to the people. In video message, a frail-looking Wangchuk, whose ‘climate fast’ entered the 21st day, called on the people of Ladakh to use their franchise very carefully this time in the interest of the nation.
A renowned education reformist, Wangchuk has been on ‘climate fast’ in sub-zero temperatures since March 6, a day after talks between joint representatives of Leh-based Apex Body and Kargil Democratic Alliance (KDA), which are jointly spearheading the agitation to demand statehood for Ladakh and its inclusion in the Sixth Schedule, and the central government hit a deadlock. The Sixth Schedule contains provisions related to the administration of tribal areas in Assam, Meghalaya, Tripura and Mizoram through autonomous district councils.
