National Conference Leader Nasir Aslam Wani Criticises J&K’s “Humiliation” as UT, Hopes for Statehood Restoration Soon
Reacting to the statement of Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha, National Conference Provincial Vice President Kashmir and Advisor to Chief Minister, Nasir Aslam Wani Thursday said that the Union Territory was temporary and the party could never celebrate the humiliation of Jammu and Kashmir.
A local news gathering agency KNO quoted Wani as saying that there was no question of attending the UT Foundation Day as J&K, which was among the best states of the country, was downgraded to the Union Territory.
“How can we celebrate the humiliation of J&K,” he said. “The UT status is temporary and it is expected to end soon.”
Wani said promises had been made over the restoration of Statehood to J&K while Chief Minister Omar Abdullah recently went to New Delhi in this regard where he was promised its restoration as well.
“We are hopeful that statehood will return soon and what’s there to celebrate if you are downgraded,” he said.
