National Conference President Farooq Abdullah held a press conference in Jammu on March 11. While addressing the journalists present, the former state chief minister said that his party wants statehood to be restored and elections to be held in Jammu and Kashmir, so that the people of the state get to decide their fate.

“We want statehood to be restored and elections to be held. For the first time in the history of the nation, a proud state was reduced to a UT, it was a tragedy. Jammu and Kashmir is an integral part of the nation. We belong to this nation, so why are they doing this to us? We are not anti-nationals,” Abdullah said.
