Srinagar , Nov 6 (KNS): Jammu and Kashmir’s Deputy Chief Minister, Surinder Choudhary called the resolution passed for the restoration of the J&K’s special status as "a reminder to New Delhi about the promises made to the people of J&K on the floor of Parliament."
Earlier, the J&K Assembly had passed the resolution demanding the re-establishment of Article 370 for the former state.
The decision sparked intense debate, with opposition leaders from the BJP denouncing the move as "anti-national" and leading to a commotion that ultimately forced the session to adjourn.
Speaking to KNS exclusively, Choudhary said that Union Home Minister Amit Shah had promised in Parliament that statehood would be restored in J&K.Click Here To Follow Our WhatsApp Channel
"We are committed to strengthening Indian democracy, and we have voiced the desires of the people and youth of J-K," Choudhary asserted.
He questioned why states like Bihar and Himachal Pradesh could receive such promises, while Jammu and Kashmir was excluded.
Choudhary went on to criticize policies that, according to him, have sold local lands, rivers, and industrial spaces, causing economic setbacks and leaving local youth jobless while non-residents benefit from the region’s resources. (KNS).
