Srinagar, Nov 06: Awami Ittehad Party (AIP) senior leader and MLA Langate, Sheikh Khursheed has lent conditional support to the resolution moved by the National Conference (NC) for the restoration of special status for Jammu and Kashmir in the Legislative Assembly on Wednesday.
His reservations stem from the fact that the resolution lacks specific mention of restoring special status under Article 370 of the Constitution of India.
“We have supported and voted for this resolution with reservations,” Khursheed said. “If the National Conference genuinely stands with the people of Jammu and Kashmir, this resolution is incomplete. There is no mention of Article 370 or 35A, no reference to the J&K Reorganisation Act of 2019 and no commitment to oppose or reverse the measures that were imposed on August 5, 2019.”
