Climate activist Sonam Wangchuk threatens 28-day fast if Indian government doesn't invite Ladakh authorities for statehood talks.

Climate activist Sonam Wangchuk vows to launch a 28-day fast on Aug 15 if the Indian government fails to invite Ladakh authorities for talks on demands for statehood and constitutional protection for the union territory. Wangchuk and other groups submitted a memorandum of demands to Prime Minister Narendra Modi during his recent visit to Dras. He hopes that the government will invite their leaders for talks following the submission of the memorandum; otherwise, he will initiate another round of protests.
