“We further suggest the UT Administration that such acts would vanish public trust in the administration. Thus, it would be better to resolve public issues instead of confronting the public.

The KDA expressed solidarity with the students and condemned the summon issued to the students.

Similarly, the NC in its press release condemned the summon issued to students and social activists. The press release alleged that the Administration is harassing the public on the directions of BJP who is not happy with the recent people alliance between the two districts of Ladakh.
