LET US WORRY ABOUT PELESTAIN , BANGLADESH AND MYANMAR LATER . WE HAVE LOTS OF PROBLEMS BACK HOME. ZANSKAR , THE PELESTAIN OF LADAKH, THE KASHMIR OF KARGIL. DO THE KARGILI LEADERSHIP HAS A SAY ON IT ? Zanaskar is a separate Constituency. But bulk of the voters come from Suru valley in Kargil. Zanskar’s constituency has total voters 20,348 ( according to 2008 assembly election) comprising Suru valley out of which around only 8,000 voters come from Zanskar and rest of the voter come from Suru valley. The delimitation of the constituency was designed in such a fashion that some villages from Zanskar constituency have been picked up and adjusted in the Kargil constituency and more than 12,000 voters from Suru valley have been included in Zanskar constituency to ensure majority voters from suru valley in Zanskar constituency so that no candidate from Zanskar can win. It seems to be a deliberate move of the then local district leaders, bureaucrats and the state government as well. It is the worst political injustice meted out to the people of Zanskar by the state government.
