Srinagar, April 29 -- The Ladakh representative bodies have sought a high-powered committee meeting with Union home minister Amit Shah on his Leh visit to push for some 'meaningful dialogue' on their demands of statehood and protections under sixth schedule. They hailed the creation of five more districts in the union territory. The Leh Apex Body (LAB) and Kargil Democratic Alliance (KDA) held a meeting on Tuesday in Leh to discuss Shah's two-day scheduled visit from April 30, planned sub-committee meeting of May 22 and the creation of five districts in Ladakh. It was also attended by climate activist Sonam Wangchuk. The bodies termed creation of five new districts, Sham, Nubra, Changthang, Zanskar, and Drass, as a necessary administrative step which was announced long back by the Centre. "The districts were announced long back and when they were announced we had expressed our gratitude from the people of Ladakh during the high-powered committee meeting with the home ministry," said co-chairperson of LAB, Chering Dorjay during a press conference after the meeting. Seeking a genuine bridge of trust, Dorjay said that they want Shah to call a meeting during his visit. "The visit was discussed in detail in our meeting and all agreed that when the home minister is coming to Ladakh then a meaningful dialogue should be held in Leh on our issues with the home ministry," said Dorjay, who was also flanked by Wangchuk and KDA representatives. Shah is visiting Ladakh to pay respects to the Holy Relics of Lord Buddha on May 1. It is expected that Shah will also chair a meeting with the Ladakh administration during his trip from April 30 to May 1. KDA chairman, Asgar Ali Karbalai said that if they get a negative response , the Ladakh bodies will again sit to discuss future course of action....
