Syiem said the four were seeking knowledge about the Sixth Schedule as they fear that they might be reduced to a minority in their own state.
“They are worried about their land with Ladakh being declared a Union Territory and they want to know about the Sixth Schedule as they want protection of their land and customs,” he said.
He said that they want the people of Ladakh to understand about Sixth Schedule and if there is a need, the MDCs will go to Ladakh.
