He accused past Congress government of ignoring the interests of Ladakh and 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 did not get any. Prime Minister Modi Ji recently gave us a university, 'Modi Hai to Mumkin Hai' (When there is Modi, it is possible)".
Praising Ladakh MP Jamyang Tsering Namgyal "outstanding" speech in Lok Sabha on Tuesday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi shared the same with millions of social media followers and said he presents the aspirations of citizens from the region.
