JAMMU: (Jun 6) Jammu and Kashmir Deputy Chief Minister Surinder Kumar Choudhary on Saturday warned that the ruling National Conference would launch a protest at Jantar Mantar in New Delhi if the Centre fails to fulfil its promise of restoring statehood to the Union Territory.
Choudhary said the demand for restoration of statehood was the key resolution adopted during the recent party meeting at Dachigam in Srinagar and would remain the party’s foremost political agenda.
“If the Government of India does not fulfil its promise to Jammu and Kashmir and restore statehood, we will be compelled to stage a protest at Jantar Mantar and tell the nation that the promise made to the people of Jammu and Kashmir has not been honoured,” he told reporters here.
