Kargil group warns of street protests if Centre backtracks on Ladakh talks

The Kargil Democratic Alliance accused the Home Ministry and the Ladakh administration of using 'fear, intimidation and threats', likening their approach to that of pharaohs. Co-chairman Asgar Ali Karbalai said the KDA and Leh Apex Body would not drop demands for a legislature under Article 239 AAA and safeguards under Article 371, warning of agitation if the May 22 agenda is abandoned.
