Srinagar: National Conference Additional General Secretary and Rajya Sabha MP Chowdhry Muhammad Ramzan has raised concerns over the continued delay in restoring Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir\u2019s statehood, calling it a breach of democratic mandate.<\/p>\n

According to Kashmir Media Service, speaking at the party headquarters, Srinagar, Chowdhry Ramzan said the prolonged delay has effectively reduced the elected setup to a subordinate administrative arrangement, undermining the political agency of the people who, he noted, turned out in large numbers in support of full-fledged democracy.<\/p>\n

He said that if IIOJK is truly to be treated equally, then the continued downgrade of its political status is indefensible. \u201cA territory that once held full statehood, with its own constitutional identity and institutional depth, is now being governed through a diluted framework that ignores its complexity, diversity, and ground realities,\u201d he said. He further asserted that promises of restoring statehood made in Indian Parliament and reiterated in public forums must not be reduced to political rhetoric. He warned that continued inaction erodes trust in commitments.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
