Leh Violence: BJP Government Shot Dead 'Brave Son' Whose Blood Runs with Patriotism,Says Rahul Gandhi

He also said that the Prime Minister should "stop the politics of violence and fear" and engage in dialogue, and that there should be a judicial inquiry into the violence.

In the violence that occurred on September 24, former soldier Tsewang Tharchin, who had participated in the Kargil War, also died.

The father of the deceased soldier,Stanzin Namgyal described his son as a patriot, who had served in the army for 22 years and volunteered multiple times for difficult postings.

 "He said he would not stay at home; he would go back and fight Pakistan. He returned alive, having driven the enemy out, captured ground and raised the Indian flag. That place is still with India today. He did service in many difficult places for 22 years."

 Rahul Gandhi shared a video of Tharchin's father on 'X'.

Rahul Gandhi posted, "Father - a soldier, son also a soldier, whose blood is infused with patriotism,yet the BJP government took the life of the country's brave son by shooting him, just because he stood up for Ladakh and his rights."

The Leader of Opposition said, "Our demand is that there must be a fair judicial inquiry into these murders in Ladakh, and the guilty must receive the strictest possible punishment."

He said, "Modi ji, you have betrayed the people of Ladakh. They are demanding their rights, engage in dialogue - stop the politics of violence and fear."

Following violent clashes between security forces and protesters during a shutdown called by the Leh Apex Body (LAB) to advance talks with the Centre, a curfew was imposed in Leh city on September 24. Four people died in the violence.
