National Conference (NC) MLAs will go to Delhi before the monsoon session of Parliament and protest outside Parliament on the first day of the session. They will put pressure on the Central Government to reinstate statehood to Jammu and Kashmir and demand constitutional guarantees for the people of Jammu and Kashmir.
NC MLAs’ meeting lasted for seven hours
This decision was taken during a long meeting of NC MLAs that lasted for seven hours. The meeting was presided over by Chief Minister Omar Abdullah, in which MLAs from NC and allies as well as National Conference MPs also participated. The venue of the meeting was changed from the residence of party president Dr. Farooq Abdullah to Dachigam National Park. Even party leaders were surprised by this step.
Emphasis on restoration of constitutional and democratic rights
During the meeting, the party resolved to further intensify its political campaign for the restoration of constitutional and democratic rights of Jammu and Kashmir. Addressing the media after the meeting, NC chief spokesperson Tanveer Sadiq said, “The party will strongly raise this issue in the national capital.” He stressed that the people of Jammu and Kashmir deserve the return of their democratic and constitutional rights.
