Sopore, Nov 09: Deputy Chief Minister Surinder Choudhary said on Saturday that National Conference (NC) is dedicated to restoring statehood to the region and that they consider Jammu and Kashmir as state, and not a Union Territory. Speaking to reporters, as per news agency—Kashmir News Observer (KNO), Choudhary said that they are clear on their stand over restoration of statehood and they continue to fight against the forces that downgraded J&K to a Union Territory. He also said that security forces should strengthen measures and carry out their duties diligently and terror attacks must stop.

He also highlighted lack of representation that Jammu and Kashmir faced over the past decade due to absence of a stable government. “We were distanced from the people under the previous regime, which often overlooked the issues that matter most to Kashmiri’s. Now, we are committed to addressing these concerns,” he said.
