Delhi Chalo: Congress Leaders Demand Restoration of J&K Statehood

Jammu and Kashmir Congress leaders embarked on the 'Delhi Chalo' programme to press for the restoration of statehood. They criticized Prime Minister Modi for not fulfilling his promises to restore statehood, despite multiple commitments. They plan to 'gherao' Parliament to intensify their demands.

Leaders of the Jammu and Kashmir Congress set off for the capital under the 'Delhi Chalo' initiative, aiming to 'gherao' Parliament in demand for a bill to restore statehood to the region.

The party criticized Prime Minister Narendra Modi for failing to keep his promises to restore statehood, a commitment he has made repeatedly both within and outside of Parliament.

Leaders stressed their determination to escalate the agitation for statehood, highlighting past protests under similar initiatives like 'Srinagar Chalo' and 'Jammu Chalo'. The 'Delhi Chalo' move follows multiple unfulfilled promises by the central government.
