BJP member from Ladakh Jamyang Tsering Namgyal earned the praise of Prime Minister Narendra Modi for his speech in Lok Sabha on August 6 on a motion to abrogate special status given to Jammu and Kashmir under Article 370.

Participating in the debate on a motion to abrogate special status to J&K and split the state into two Union Territories, Namgyal said the people of Ladakh had been fighting for UT status for the last seven decades. "If Ladakh is today under-developed, then Article 370 and Congress party are responsible for it," the MP said.

In a tweet later, the prime minister said the Ladakh BJP MP coherently presented aspirations of people of the region in his speech.

"My young friend, Jamyang Tseing Namgyal who is @MPLadakh delivered an outstdanding speech in the Lok Sabha while discussing key bills on J&K. He coherently presents the aspirations of our sisters and brothers from Ladakh. It is a must hear," Modi said in the tweet.


Home Minister Amit Shah also praised Namgyal's speech in a tweet.
