Ladakh BJP MP Jamyang Tsering Namgyal, whose speech supporting the end of special status for Jammu and Kashmir went viral, was caught celebrating this 73rd Independence Day with utmost joy and fervour. News agency ANI shot the MP doing a short dance in celebration.

In the video, Namgyal is seen wearing sunglasses and a dark brown 'goucha', a traditional Ladakhi dress for men.
In his viral speech, the BJP leader alleged that both Article 370 and the Congress were responsible for Ladakh's "undeveloped" condition.
He also stated that protests by parties such as the National Conference of Omar Abdullah and Mehooba Mufti's People's Democratic Party should be ignored as they had treated the state as their "family business" and added that if the move was implemented, only two families would lose their job.
Earlier this week, Tsering Namgyal was greeted with a parade on his return to Ladakh.
