Will up struggle for statehood restoration: Cong

The Congress on Thursday said it would intensify its struggle to press for the restoration of statehood to Jammu and Kashmir.

Addressing a press conference at the party office here, Syed Naseer Hussain, All- India Congress Committee general secretary in-charge of Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh affairs, lashed out at the BJP-led Centre for “delay" in granting statehood to the UT, after committing it in Parliament and before the Supreme Court.

Hussain said the Congress would intensify its struggle for statehood. “I have asked the party cadres to intensify the ongoing movement," he added.
