Jammu: Deputy Chief Minister of Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir Surinder Chowdary has once again reminded New Delhi of its commitment to restore statehood to the territory and urged the Indian government to fulfill the promise without further delay.<\/p>\n

According to Kashmir Media Service, Surinder Chowdary talking to reporters in Jammu, said the people of Kashmir were repeatedly assured that statehood would be restored at an appropriate time, but the promise remains unfulfilled. He stressed that restoring statehood is not a favour but a democratic right of the people.<\/p>\n

Launching a sharp attack on the Bharatiya Janata Party, the Deputy Chief Minister said the BJP ruled the occupied Jammu and Kashmir for 11 years and failed miserably on multiple fronts. He said that despite its long rule, the party could not address core issues faced by the people and left behind governance challenges.<\/p>\n

The Deputy Chief Minister reiterated that restoring statehood would strengthen democratic institutions, improve governance and help address regional aspirations across occupied Jammu and Kashmir.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
