JKPCC chief spokesperson Ravinder Sharma said, “Year 2024 has seen another betrayal and deception by the BJP-led government at the Center with the people, especially youth of J&K, as the statehood was not restored despite repeated promises and assurances right from floor of Parliament to Supreme Court as well as in the recent elections meetings by none other than Prime Minister Narendra Modi.”

He said the elected government in the UT does not avail the powers required for the service of suffering people and to come up to the expectations of the people, especially youth.

He said, “The restoration of full statehood is awaited as another year ends, which is a betrayal with the people.”
