Good to see the government engaging with stakeholders in Ladakh. The political dialogue on May 22 is crucial—people have been waiting for clarity on statehood and employment issues. Hope this meeting leads to concrete outcomes.

🕉️ Beautiful to see Buddha Purnima celebrated in Ladakh! The holy relics exposition is a great initiative for spiritual tourism. But I hope the local Ladakhi youth also get opportunities beyond tourism—jobs and infrastructure are the real need of the hour.

Respect for the Home Minister's visit, but I really hope the sub-committee meeting on May 22 doesn't become another photo-op. Ladakh needs clear policies on environment protection, land rights, and a timeline for Sixth Schedule or statehood. Let's see action, not just talks.

Amit Shah ji visiting Leh is a strong signal of national integration. Ladakh is our northern gem—militarily and culturally. The Buddha Purnima event will also highlight India's soft power in the region. Jai Hind! 🇮🇳

As a student of Buddhism, I'm thrilled about the relics exposition! But I wish the government would also focus on ecological concerns in Ladakh—climate change is affecting the glaciers and local communities. Spiritual progress and environmental progress should go hand in hand.
