While I welcome the release, I hope this leads to genuine dialogue. The LG talks of cooperation, but the people of Ladakh have genuine concerns about land, jobs, and identity after becoming a UT. Actions must follow these words.

Ladakhis are indeed peaceful and patriotic. But "no place for agitation" sounds like a warning. Sometimes peaceful protest is the only way to be heard. The government should listen, not just preach about dialogue.

Good step! Now focus on real development for Ladakh. Better connectivity, healthcare, and sustainable tourism. The youth need opportunities so they don't have to migrate. Jai Hind! 🇮🇳

The LG is correct. Bandhs and violence solve nothing. We have seen this in other parts of the country. Ladakh is a strategic and beautiful region. Its unity and progress are paramount for national interest.

Releasing him is one thing, addressing the core issues of statehood and 6th schedule is another. I hope this "constructive dialogue" isn't just a fancy term. The people's trust needs to be earned back.
