NEW DELHI: Jamyang Tsering Namgyal , the BJP MP from Ladakh , made a very strong and spirited defence of the Centre's move to bifurcate Jammu and Kashmir in his speech in Lok Sabha, evoking immediate praise from none other than Prime Minister Narendra Modi.The young Ladakh MP slammed the regional parties of Kashmir and the Congress for their opposition to Centre's move to scrap Article 370 and bifurcate the state into two Union territories.Jamyang Tsering's speech evoked instant praise from Prime Minister Narendra Modi."My young friend, Jamyang Tsering Namgyal who is @MPLadakh delivered an outstanding 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!" PM tweeted.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."What will be lost with this decision? Sirf do pariwar rozi-roti khoyenge aur Kashmir ka bhavishya ujjwal hone wala hai.(Only two families will lose their livelihood, but Kashmir's will have a glorious future)," the BJP MP said."If Ladakh is today under-developed, then Article 370 and Congress party are responsible for it," the MP said."UPA gave Kashmir a central University in 2011, Jammu fought and took a central university. I was a student union leader. We demanded a central university in Ladakh, but we didn't get any. PM Modi Ji recently gave us a university 'Modi Hai to Mumkin Hai'," Jamyang Tsering said.
