J&K Cong intensifies statehood demand
Hindustan Times Amritsar
|July 19, 2025
The Jammu Kashmir Congress has announced a major escalation in its campaign demanding the restoration of statehood to J&K, with protests planned in Srinagar, Jammu, and a sit-in at New Delhi's Jantar Mantar on July 22, a day after the monsoon session of Parliament begins.
This move comes after Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge and Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi wrote a letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi urging immediate restoration of statehood to Jammu and Kashmir.
The Congress is now mobilising workers and leaders from across the Union Territory to participate in the protest in the national capital, alongside some members of parliament and INDIA alliance leaders.
