He said statehood of the erstwhile State of Jammu and Kashmir needs to be restored as early as possible besides protection of it’s domicile rights.
He said the people of the State should not be exploited on  false promises like past adding that the prevailing grim situation in the State was the outcome of broken promises and false assurances given to the people of the State right from 1947 too date by the successive Central  and  puppet State Governments. He said  need  of  the  hour  was  to  remove doubts from the minds of the people and instil a sense of trust among them. He said times have changed and people of the State  understand that how they have been misled by the  opportunistic political parties for their petty vested interests. He  said onus lies  on  Central  leadership to rebuild trust among the people of the State through guarantee to their domicile rights and restoration of Statehood status to the erstwhile State. He said sentiments of the people of Kashmir have been severely hurt by downgrading the status of their motherland to a Union Territory.
