- Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah on Wednesday advised Ladakhi leaders not to trust any central government promise unless it is given in writing and signed.
- Ladakhi representatives from Leh Apex Body and Kargil Democratic Alliance have been in talks with a home ministry panel since 2023 over demands for constitutional safeguards on land, jobs, culture and environment.
- The panel's latest round of talks was held on September 9 in New Delhi, after which the Ladakh administration said the Centre agreed to form a union territory-level elected body for Ladakh under Article 371 of the Constitution.
- Abdullah said Jammu and Kashmir received a verbal promise that statehood would be restored immediately after elections, but nearly two years later the promise remains unfulfilled.
- The advice matters because it warns Ladakhi negotiators to secure documented commitments before finalising any agreement with the Centre.
What to watch next
- Finalisation of the proposed UT-level body under Article 371, including its powers and relationship with the existing hill development councils
- Outcomes of the next round of talks between the MHA committee and the Ladakhi delegation
- Any movement on the Centre's promise to restore Jammu and Kashmir's statehood
