Addressing his first rally in Kashmir ahead of the upcoming Assembly elections, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Wednesday vowed to restore statehood to Jammu and Kashmir, calling it the responsibility of every citizen of the country. He accused the BJP of stripping the people of J&K of their rights and dignity and said the next government in the region will be formed by the INDIA bloc, describing it as a “fight for justice.”
Standing alongside National Conference (NC) president Farooq Abdullah, Gandhi avoided mentioning Article 370, whose abrogation led to J&K’s reorganization into two Union territories. While the NC has pledged to revoke this move in its manifesto, Gandhi focused on the promise of statehood.
Gandhi acknowledged that both the Congress and NC had initially sought statehood before the elections but are now fully committed to restoring it as soon as possible. He assured that whether the current BJP government or a future INDIA alliance government in Delhi, statehood would be returned to J&K.
