@AwaisSakhi Could you clarify whether you mean that the ledger should continue to be the same after the split?

Soft forks are generally used to upgrade an existing protocol in a backward compatible way. If you were to create a new coin you would need to hard fork the Litecoin protocol. How you do that depends on your motivation. If you just want to create a new coin to make money I would strongly advise against it. There are thousands of altcoins that have no unique selling proposition. It sounds like any coin you would make would also have no unique selling proposition.
