Congress demands statehood, elected govt in JK

    On Saturday, ahead of budget session, Congress leader Ghulam Nabi Azad highlighted the need for an elected government in Jammu-Kashmir at an all-party meeting chaired by PM Modi.

    Pointing out that panchayat and corporation polls had been successfully held in the union territory, he said that a sensitive border state like J&K must have a government. J&K government was dissolved in 2018 after the PDP and BJP fell apart, resulting in President’s rule in J&K.
