The absence of political accountability is weakening institutional credibility and democratic values,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>He reminded New Delhi of its repeated assurances, made both in the Parliament and before the Supreme Court, that statehood to IIOJK would be restored. \u201cThis is not about any one party or ideology. The demand for restoration of statehood is a broad-based and deeply rooted aspiration that cuts across party lines,\u201d he said, calling the continuing delay a betrayal of the people\u2019s mandate.<\/p>\n<p>Reiterating his party\u2019s stance, Sadhotra said, \u201cNC will continue to amplify the voice of the people and fight for the restoration of full democratic rights, including statehood, which is essential for peace, dignity, and development in Jammu and Kashmir.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jammu: National Conference (NC) leader and Additional General Secretary, Ajay Kumar Sadhotra has made a forceful appeal for the immediate restoration of statehood to Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir, warning that the current dual administrative control has adversely impacted governance and eroded trust in institutions.
