Cong demands restoration of statehood to J&K

Srinagar, June 7

The Congress on Monday demanded the restoration of statehood to J&K, stating that the move would infuse confidence among the people.

A spokesman of the J&K Pradesh Congress Committee said any delay in restoring the statehood was bound to cause more disconnect between the Centre and the UT people.

JKPCC president Ghulam Ahmad Mir said the Centre should fulfil its commitment to restore the statehood to J-K without further delay. “I believe that early restoration of statehood will indeed go a long way in taking away J&K out of the quagmire and confusion created after August 5, 2019,” he said. — PTI
