Spokespersons: Shri G.A. Mir, Digvijay Singh, Dr. Naseer Hussain and Shri Ravindra Sharma: They said that the common man was suffering in the UT as he was being tossed between the Chief Minister’s secretariat and the Raj Bhawan.

Shri GA Mir recalled that in June 2021, Prime Minister Modi had called a meeting of the representatives of all the political parties of JK and suggested delimitation, election and then restoration of statehood — in that order.

He added, Shri Rahul Gandhi while wrapping up his 4000 km ‘Bharat Jodo Yatra’ in Srinagar along with the Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge, had also committed that the Party will ensure restoration of the statehood.

Shri Digvijaya Singh disclosed that although the Congress was the coalition partner of the ruling National Conference, the party had taken a principled stand not to join the government till the statehood was restored. He said, the Congress has made certain promises to people of Jammu and Kashmir, including the restoration of statehood and it is working towards that by launching a mass movement.
