Will move Supreme Court if statehood to J&K is delayed further: Farooq Abdullah

Srinagar, June 21: National Conference president and former Chief Minister Farooq Abdullah Saturday reiterated the demand for early restoration of statehood to Jammu and Kashmir, asserting that further delays may compel the party to approach the Supreme Court.

Speaking to reporters in Pahalgam, Farooq Abdullah, per news agency—Kashmir News Observer (KNO) said it has been eight months since the Jammu and Kashmir government was formed. “I am hopeful that when statehood is restored, we will also get the administrative powers that are essential for true governance.”

He added their stand remains unchanged, they are waiting patiently for the restoration of statehood. “But if there are unnecessary delays, we will have no option but to go to the Supreme Court.”

“We are committed to a democratic and peaceful struggle, but at the same time, we will not remain silent if our basic political rights continue to be denied,” he said.

He appealed for wisdom and restraint amid the ongoing tensions in the Middle East. “I pray that God gives wisdom to both Iran and Israel. This conflict can only be solved with peace,” he said, urging global leaders to advocate for dialogue.

He also called on US President Donald Trump to call for peace between the two nations
