He said the restoration of statehood was crucial for honouring the democratic mandate of the people. The delegation apprised him of the hardships faced by the community and appreciated the role of the Omar Abdullah-led NC leadership in promoting inclusive development.<\/p>\n<p>The NC leader strongly condemned the arrest of public representative Meraj Malik under the draconian Public Safety Act (PSA), terming it a disturbing move by the authorities. He said Malik\u2019s arrest had triggered widespread protests in Doda, adding that it was BJP leaders making provocative remarks who were vitiating peace in the territory. Gupta demanded Malik\u2019s immediate release and stern action against those inciting communal tensions.<\/p>\n<p>Expressing disappointment over Narendra Modi\u2019s exclusion of occupied Jammu and Kashmir from his recent flood-relief tours, Gupta said Modi announced hundreds of crores for several flood-hit states but ignored Jammu despite huge losses of life and property. \u201cThis shows where we stand in BJP\u2019s priority list,\u201d he remarked.
