We hope government will review what happened and provide compensation to the families of those killed (on Sept 24 last year in Leh) and withdraw all cases against those who were arrested and jailed,\u201d Wangchuk said Thursday in Leh.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"4\"\/>\u201cWe are giving government about one month to address these issues. If it fails to do so, we will be compelled to launch another movement in Ladakh,\u201d he said, adding Ladakh \u201cshould be governed with trust and respect, not fear\u201d.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"8\"\/>Lakrook condemned the recent police action against NEET paper leak protesters at Jantar Mantar in New Delhi but called the crackdown in Leh far harsher. He alleged the response from media, people and political parties to the use of force in Ladakh was far weaker. \u201cEvery citizen deserves the same concern and justice, whether they live in Ladakh or elsewhere in India.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"LEzX4\">\n<div class=\"PmOGb\">\n<p class=\"PSf84\">Share your thoughts in the comments<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><button type=\"button\" class=\"sUTYm \">Insightful<\/button><button type=\"button\" class=\"sUTYm \">Agree<\/button><button type=\"button\" class=\"sUTYm \">Disagree<\/button><button type=\"button\" class=\"sUTYm \">Skeptical<\/button><button type=\"button\" class=\"sUTYm \">Concerning<\/button><button type=\"button\" class=\"sUTYm \">Promising<\/button><button type=\"button\" class=\"sUTYm \">Worth Reading<\/button><button type=\"button\" class=\"sUTYm \">Big Development<\/button><\/p>\n<p><textarea class=\"T9MbS\" rows=\"1\" placeholder=\"Add your Thoughts...\"\/><button type=\"button\" class=\"ZW6JD \" disabled=\"\">Post Comment<\/button><\/p>\n<p class=\"swnca\">Be respectful \u00b7 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.indiatimes.com\/termsandcondition\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" class=\"gkv0P\">TOI community guidelines<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"11\"\/>Lakrook said LAB and Kargil Democratic Alliance had pursued their four-point agenda for years, but talks with Centre had yielded little progress. \u201cThere has been some progress but there is still no decision on our core demands,\u201d he said, describing Ladakh as a strategically sensitive region whose concerns should not be pushed to the back burner.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"15\"\/>After the firing on Sept 24, authorities imposed curfew-like restrictions, suspended mobile internet and arrested more than 70 people, including Wangchuk, who was accused of inciting protesters. Wangchuk was held under NSA in Jodhpur jail until Centre revoked his detention in March. Talks resumed after his release and he described the May 22 meeting with Centre as positive after it agreed to discuss Article 371-like protections for Ladakh.<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a
