Honour democratic mandate of J&K people, Fulfill commitment on J&K statehood restoration : Showkat Mir Tells Centre

Srinagar : Provincial President J&K National Conference Showkat Ahmad Mir Saturday on Saturdady called on the Government of India to honour the democratic mandate of the people by fulfilling its promise to restore statehood to Jammu and Kashmir.
During an interaction with party functionaries at the party headquarters, Nawa-e-Subha, in Srinagar. Mir emphasized the crucial role of the National Conference (NC) in restoring normalcy and peace in Jammu and Kashmir after 1996. He highlighted the sacrifices made by the party to bring the region back on the path of development and progress. Mir expressed gratitude for the people’s continued trust in the party and urged New Delhi to honor the mandate by promptly restoring the promised statehood. “It is imperative for New Delhi to recognize the significance of this mandate and act swiftly to fulfill their promise,” he said. Mir highlighted the government’s efforts under Omar Abdullah’s leadership to reestablish connections with the people after a six-year absence.
“In the past, government officials rarely ventured into neighborhoods and communities, leaving ordinary citizens feeling neglected. However, the current scenario has undergone a significant transformation. People now throng the secretariat, elected representatives actively engage with their constituents, and ministers are inundated with delegations seeking their attention. This palpable shift was previously unheard of. Moreover, the forthcoming budget, crafted with a collaborative approach, promises to usher in a new era of progress and development. The winds of change are blowing, and the future looks promising,” he added.
