Dr Farooq Hails Cong For Raising J&K Statehood With PM

Srinagar: National Conference president Farooq Abdullah on Friday congratulated the Congress for writing to Prime Minister Narendra Modi seeking restoration of statehood to Jammu and Kashmir.

“I congratulate (Mallikarjun) Kharge and Rahul (Gandhi) who raised the issue with the PM and a meeting of all leaders will take place on (July) 19 evening in which this issue will be raised again,” he told reporters here.

Abdullah was responding to a question about Gandhi and Kharge’s letter to Prime Minister Modi seeking restoration of statehood to Jammu and Kashmir during the upcoming Monsoon session of Parliament.

“Why not? It is our right. If they don’t, we will see,” he said.
