As many as 200 MPs from both ruling and opposition parties have visited Ladakh in the last two months which shows the importance that the government and the people of the country attach to the region, Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla said on Friday. Inaugurating the Parliamentary Outreach Programme for the Empowerment of Panchayati Raj Institutions, Birla commended the spirit of Ladakhi people, saying the way Ladakh is emerging as a self-reliant entity in the face of adverse geographical and other challenges is an example for the rest of the nation. The Speaker appreciated the valour of the people of Ladakh and their contribution in India's defence, asserting that they have “set an important example for others”.
