Prime Minister Narendra Modi has told Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah that he would fulfil his promise of statehood to Jammu and Kashmir, National Conference president Farooq Abdullah said on Wednesday.
He said they are waiting for the Centre to fulfil its promise.
“Prime Minister has recently told Omar that he will fulfil his promise (on restoration of statehood to Jammu and Kashmir),” Abdullah told reporters in Anantnag district.
Responding to a question on delay in approval of business rules for Jammu and Kashmir government, Abdullah said his party wants not only the business rules but also restoration of statehood.
“Statehood is their promise before the world. We are waiting for it,” he added. National Conference has announced to hold a protest in Delhi on the first day of the monsoon session of Parliament in support of their demand for restoration of statehood to Jammu and Kashmir.
The decision was taken at the meeting of ruling party legislators chaired by Omar Abdullah on June 3. (Agencies)
