Leh Apex Body Boycotts Centre Talks Over Protest Deaths, Demands Probe

The Leh Apex Body has boycotted October 6 talks with the Centre, demanding a judicial probe into four protester deaths during September 24 violence. It also seeks an apology for alleged ‘anti-national’ remarks. Tensions rise amid ongoing demands for Ladakh’s statehood and status, further fueled by the detention of activist Sonam Wangchuk.
