However, despite repeated assurances, no timeline has been announced for its restoration.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking on the occasion, IIOJK Deputy Chief Minister Surinder Choudhary criticized the BJP-led government for failing to honor its commitment. He said it was unfortunate that the elected representatives of occupied Jammu and Kashmir had to protest in New Delhi to remind Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah of their promise to restore statehood. He said nearly one and a half years had passed since the elections, but the pledge remained unfulfilled.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New Delhi: Leaders and workers of the National Conference (NC), led by Chief Minister Omar Abdullah and party president Farooq Abdullah, staged a protest in New Delhi today, demanding the immediate restoration of full statehood to Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK).
