Congress today said the issue of granting Union Territory status to Ladakah is being discussed "from the developmental dimension".

"I think that is looking more from the developmental dimension. It is not a question of dividing. That is one demand which has been there for a long time and perhaps that will be discussed"

"There is always a democratic and inclusive way to take a decision which has sensitive dimensions to it," party spokesman Anand Sharma said.

He was asked at the party briefing whether Congress wants to declare Ladakh, which is part of Jammu and Kashmir, to be Union Territory.
