Baramulla, Aug 03 (KNO): National Conference (NC) will continue its campaign for the restoration of Jammu and Kashmir’s statehood until the demand is fulfilled, said Chief Minister’s Advisor Nasir Aslam Wani on Monday.
Speaking to reporters in Baramulla, Wani, per news agency—Kashmir News Observer (KNO), said the recent protest at Jantar Mantar in New Delhi was the first step toward reminding the Centre of its commitment regarding statehood restoration.
“We went to Jantar Mantar to remind them that the promise made to us has not been fulfilled,” Wani said.
He said the sequence of events promised by the Centre included delimitation, elections, and restoration of statehood. While delimitation and Assembly elections have been completed, he said, statehood is still awaited.
Wani said the entire party leadership, including legislators, participated in the protest and the matter would be discussed further by the leadership to decide the future course of action.
“This is not a matter of one day. Until we get our statehood back, we will continue our work and efforts,” he said—(KNO)
