T. Samphel, Ex-MLA Leh and the first LBA president, lambasted the Indian State as also the political structure of Jammu and Kashmir for holding the people of Ladakh hostage to the whims and fancies of the Kashmir-centric politics for seven decades, who have unleashed a no-holds bar demographic assault in the Ladakh region.
