While interacting with the people, the NC leader said that establishing a National Law University (NLU) in Jammu as well as in Kashmir, reflects the party’s enduring commitment to addressing the urges and aspirations of the people of Jammu alongside those of Kashmir.
Sadhotra said the Chief Minister’s assurance to a delegation of law students from the University of Jammu, who called on him seeking an NLU for Jammu, has rekindled hope among the youth and academic community.
“This sensitive and balanced response once again demonstrates that the National Conference believes in inclusive governance, where no region or sub-region is left behind,” he said.
Sadhotra said that the Chief Minister considering the issue with sincerity of purpose and hoped that the urges and aspirations of the Jammu youth will be fulfilled.
“Such a considered approach underscores seriousness of intent and institutional responsibility,” he said, expressing optimism that the proposal would culminate in a positive decision.

He asserted that establishing such an institution would enhance academic opportunities and contribute to the socio-economic development of Jammu.
Reiterating the party’s commitment, the NC leader said the National Conference under the leadership of Dr Farooq Abdullah and Omar Abdullah will continue to pursue policies that uphold fairness, inclusivity and balanced regional development.
