In a recent statement, Congress has expressed its disapproval of Union Minister Kiren Rijiju’s remarks, which they believe indicate the central government’s reluctance to grant statehood to Jammu and Kashmir in the near future. The Congress party has accused the Centre of backtracking on its earlier promises and has urged for a clear timeline for the restoration of statehood to the region. Rijiju’s comments have sparked a political debate, with opposition parties demanding accountability and transparency from the government regarding its plans for Jammu and Kashmir. The issue of statehood remains a contentious topic, with many stakeholders advocating for a swift resolution to ensure political stability and development in the region.
