The leaders said that the apex body still stands by its boycott decision and with regard to the same, some programs were scheduled to be held in parts of Leh by designated teams and some had already left but in the meantime police and administration intimated them not to hold any gathering without permission.

Asked about the stand of BJP on 6th schedule, he said “we are with the demand of constitutional safeguard be it 6th schedule or any other.”
