New Delhi: The Congress on Sunday said the party will raise the demand for restoration of full statehood to Jammu and Kashmir in the Monsoon session of Parliament beginning on July 21.
“Did PM Modi lie on the floor of Parliament about granting statehood for J&K? If not, why has J&K Police arrested JKPCC President Tariq Hameed Karra ji and other Congress leaders?” AICC general secretary, Organisation, K C Venugopal asked in a post on X.
“Why did they seal the PCC Office in Srinagar yesterday & stopped our party workers from protesting peacefully for statehood?
“In the upcoming Parliament session, INDIA alliance will be demanding that full statehood be restored in J&K immediately. This farce cannot go on any longer,” Venugopal added in his post.
The Congress has asserted that it would keep raising the issue of restoration of full statehood to Jammu and Kashmir, where it is in power in alliance with Omar Abdullah’s National Conference.
