Sri Lankan Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe has said that the creation of Ladakh as a Union Territory is an internal matter of India.The
Indian government on Monday revoked Article 370 which gave special status to Jammu and Kashmir and moved a separate bill to split the state
into two union territories of Jammu, Kashmir and Ladakh.
The move sparked jubilation in Buddhist-dominated Leh town for coming close to the
fulfilment of their long standing demand.The creation of Ladakh and the consequential restructuring are India internal matters,
Wickremesinghe said in a communique posted on social media sites.

With 70% of Ladakh population being Buddhist it will be the first Indian state with a Buddhist majority.& &Creation of Ladakh and
consequential restructuring is India internal matter, it is a beautiful region well worth a visit,& he tweeted.
