In a recent statement, Congress leader Uday Bhanu Chib shared insights from his meeting with renowned activist Sonam Wangchuk, highlighting the challenges faced by the people of Ladakh. Chib remarked, "We talked about the sufferings he (Sonam Wangchuk) is facing. He is a scientist, an intellectual, and he is fighting for the country and the society." He emphasized the importance of the government listening to such voices and understanding the problems confronting the region.

Chib's comments underscore a growing concern for the socio-economic issues in Ladakh, where local activists have been advocating for special status to ensure the protection of cultural identity, sustainable development, and environmental conservation. "I think if the people of Ladakh get the special status, it would be better for them and the country," he stated, reinforcing the belief that tailored governance could lead to improved conditions for the residents.
