Akhilesh Yadav, president of the Samajwadi Party, on Wednesday highlighted the critical importance of addressing the Ladakh issue. He threw his support behind the protest led by climate activist Sonam Wangchuk in the Union Territory.

Wangchuk, alongside 150 other protesters from Ladakh, continued their indefinite fast on Gandhi Jayanti despite being under detention. They claim their rights are being trampled upon in a place that symbolizes peace and democracy.
