Ladakh Gets A New Lieutenant Governor Amid Protests Over Statehood Demand

Amid an ongoing agitation by Ladakhi people demanding statehood and special status under the sixth schedule of the constitution, the Centre today appointed a new Lieutenant Governor for the union territory of Ladakh.
BD Mishra, a former brigadier of the Indian Army, and present Governor of Arunachal Pradesh, has been appointed as the LG of Ladakh.

On Saturday, Lieutenant Governor Radha Krishna Mathur quietly left his office in Leh after saying goodbye to his staff on Saturday.

This morning, a communique issued by the Rashtrapati Bhavan said that the President of India has accepted the resignations of Bhagat Singh Koshyari as Governor of Maharashtra and Shri Radha Krishnan Mathur as Lt. Governor of Ladakh. The President has also made appointments of Governors of 11 states and Lt Governor of the Ladakh UT.

Sources say, on Saturday, Mr Mathur packed his bags and informed the staff that he was leaving, without citing any reason for the sudden decision.

It’s unclear if Mr Mathur was asked to resign by the Centre, or he has chosen to leave amid ongoing agitation by the Ladakhi people.

During his over three-year-long tenure as Lt Governor, 69-year-old Radha Krishna Mathur spent more time in Delhi than in Leh.

Mr Mathur, a former defence secretary, was appointed as the first Lt Governor of Ladakh after Jammu and Kashmir was stripped of its statehood and divided into two union territories in August 2019.

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Sunday attacked the BJP over the ongoing anti-encroachment drive in Jammu and Kashmir, saying the Union Territory wanted employment, better business and love but instead got the “BJP’s bulldozer”.

Major political parties such as the Congress, the National Conference, and the PDP have voiced their concerns against the drive and demanded an immediate end to it.

The authorities have so far retrieved more than 10 lakh kanals (one kanal =605 sq yards) of land across Jammu and Kashmir after the Commissioner Secretary, Revenue department, Vijay Kumar Bidhuri directed all deputy commissioners to ensure 100 percent removal of encroachments from the state land on 7 January.

In a tweet in Hindi, Gandhi said, “Jammu and Kashmir wanted employment, better business and love, but what did they get? BJP’s Bulldozer!”

The land which the people nurtured with their hard work for many decades, is being snatched away from them, the former Congress chief said.

“Peace and Kashmiriyat will be protected by uniting, not dividing people,” he said.

Gandhi also tagged a media report which claimed that the eviction drive had caused panic in Jammu and Kashmir.
