He also announced that his party will begin a campaign against the ongoing reservation policy in the Union Territory.

Speaking at a press conference in Srinagar, Lone said that the current reservation structure was undermining merit in recruitment and education. "Open merit has been set aside. We are launching a public registration drive against this system. If protests or hunger strikes are needed, we are prepared for that," he said.
