Jammu: Javed Ahmed Rana, Minister for Jal Shakti, Forest, Ecology & Environment and Tribal Affairs, has said that Statehood is not a privilege but a constitutional right of the people of Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir.<\/p>\n

According to Kashmir Media Service, Jal Shakti has started a signature campaign from his Mendhar constituency in the Poonch district for the restoration of statehood.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have started the campaign for statehood restoration from here with my signature and I urge all the people of my constituency to come forward and sign this book,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The Modi government has promised restoration of statehood on the completion of delimitation exercise and holding of Assembly elections and it is their moral duty to fulfill that promise.<\/p>\n
