Karra reiterates party’s demand for statehood restoration to IIOJK
Jammu: President of the Congress chapter in Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir Tariq Hameed Karra has reiterated the party’s demand for the restoration of statehood to occupied Jammu and Kashmir.
According to Kashmir Media Service, Tariq Hameed Karra in a statement in Srinagar highlighted that the Congress party has consistently raised this issue, not only in Jammu but also in other parts like Rajouri. He noted that the demand for statehood has been a priority for the party ever since the revocation of Article 370 in August 2019.
He expressed concern over the Indian government’s reluctance to address the demand, questioning why the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the government have not moved forward with the process.
“We have repeatedly reminded the Indian Prime Minister and Home Minister about this pressing issue, yet there is no clear action,” he added.
Karra further stated that the Congress party will continue to push for the restoration of statehood, calling it an essential step towards ensuring the well-being and development of the people of Jammu and Kashmir.
“We will not back down on this demand,” he concluded.
