IIOJK people hope SC will restore statehood: Farooq Abdullah
Srinagar: National Conference (NC) President in Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir Farooq Abdullah has said that the people of Kashmir have hope that the Indian Supreme Court will restore their “right to statehood”.
According to Kashmir Media Service, Farooq Abdullah talking to reporters in Srinagar, however, said not restoring the statehood to occupied Jammu and Kashmir because of incidents like the Pahalgam attack was wrong.
“People here have hopes that the Supreme Court (SC) will restore their right - a promise the Government of India has made in and outside the Parliament, and in the SC as well,” he added.
The Supreme Court on Thursday sought a response from the Indian government in eight weeks on a plea seeking the restoration of statehood to Jammu and Kashmir.
