National Conference ready to sacrifice for J&K special status restoration

Farooq Abdullah called for support from all three regions of the erstwhile state to restore constitutional and democratic rights.

National Conference (NC) president Farooq Abdullah said on Friday that his party is prepared to make any sacrifice to restore the special status previously held by the erstwhile state of Jammu and Kashmir.

According to reports from the Times of India and Deccan Herald, the former chief minister stated that the special status is a legacy of the NC.

Abdullah, who was interacting with various delegations and citizens at his residence in Jammu, urged people from Jammu, Kashmir, and Ladakh to provide full cooperation in this struggle.

The NC leader said the party would use all democratic and peaceful methods to reclaim the rights of the people of Jammu and Kashmir.

He also expressed hope that statehood would be restored to the region without further delay to allow an elected government to function and make decisions in the public interest.

Abdullah maintained that the party has never altered its position due to pressure and will continue to act on the aspirations of the people.
