He stated that this was the apt opportunity to demand what is promised and enshrined in the constitution of the country.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe want to remind this government of the promises it made in the last two elections. We hope that they will honour the teachings of Ramji as his true Bhakts and fulfil the promise made to the people of <a data-ga-onclick=\"Inarticle articleshow link click#News#href\" href=\"https:\/\/economictimes.indiatimes.com\/topic\/ladakh\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Ladakh<\/a>,\u201d said Wangchuk.<\/p>\n<p>The award winning engineer informed that the Apex Body Leh, an amalgam of social, religious, business and political organisations in Leh, has decided to start Pashmina March from April 17, for at least ten days and around two dozen people will participate in this march on foot. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt will be a peaceful march on foot\u2026it will take us five to reach the grazing land that is being given away to the big corporations by the government without the consent from locals and then we will march towards the India-Tibet or India-China border if the government allows,\u201d said Wangchuk.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier, ABL had withdrawn the call for Pashmina March on April 7, in which thousands of people were expected to participate, in the wake of Ladakh administration\u2019s move to deploy forces on all major roads in Leh, imposing section 144 and plans to restrict the mobile internet speed as well. \u201cEarlier administration felt scared because of the proposed march. Now we have decided to go in small numbers and are hopeful we will be allowed to start our peaceful march,\u201d said <a data-ga-onclick=\"Inarticle articleshow link click#News#href\" href=\"https:\/\/economictimes.indiatimes.com\/topic\/wangchuk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Wangchuk<\/a> adding, \u201cThey claim that we have not lost an inch of our land. This is a golden opportunity for them to confirm that from the ground through our march when they allow us to go ahead freely.\u201d He also urged people across the country to amplify the voice of the people of Ladakh and make sure that it reaches the central government. \u201cPeople of Ladakh are angry with Home Minister Amit Shah, who in the last meeting with the representatives from Ladakh in Delhi on March 4, had clearly said that neither sixth schedule or statehood will be given to ladakh even if the Prime Minister himself writes to him about the same,\u201d Wangchuk claimed. He said that people are hopeful that maybe the PM was inclined to fulfil the promise made to the people of Ladakh by the <a data-ga-onclick=\"Inarticle articleshow link click#News#href\" href=\"https:\/\/economictimes.indiatimes.com\/topic\/bjp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">BJP<\/a> government. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs a true Ram Bhakht maybe PM was ready to fulfil the promise but it seems the ego of Amit Shahji has stopped the process,\u201d said Wangchuk. He further said that Shah\u2019s recent statement in Assam that not even an inch of the land has been grabbed by China has also hurt the locals. \u201cAre our nomads lying? We are being stopped from going 20 to 30 kms ahead of our grazing lands. Our nomads are losing their land. We are losing our land,\u201d alleged Wangchuk. \u201cIs anti-national the one who handed over land to China or those who are crying and seeking help to stop this land grab by China. You have to decide this,\u201d Wangchuk asked.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/economictimes.indiatimes.com\/news\/india\/sonam-wangchuk-announces-pashmina-march-by-foot-in-ladakh-from-april-17-on-ram-navami\/articleshow\/109294280.cms\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Prominent Ladakhi innovator Sonam Wangchuk on Sunday informed that Pashmina March towards the grazing lands and Line of Actual Control between India and China will start on April 17, on the day of Ram Navami.
