Yesterday, the Communist Party of India (CPI) held a protest at the Press Club in Jammu, demanding the restoration of Jammu and Kashmir’s statehood. The protest was led by CPI State Secretary com. Ghulam Mohammad Mizrab and National Council member com. Rakesh Sharma.
During the protest, the Communist Party of India (CPI) reiterated its demand that the commitment made by Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi and Home Minister Shri Amit Shah be fulfilled. The Prime Minister and Home Minister had assured that after the Jammu and Kashmir Assembly elections, statehood would be restored immediately. However, even after six months since the elections, this promise remains unfulfilled. The CPI questioned why the government was going back on its word and urged for the swift restoration of statehood so that governance and development issues in the region could be addressed effectively.
