Speaking after inaugurating a Primary Health Centre at Khull Noorabad and a Sheep Husbandry Centre, Itoo said, “Statehood is our constitutional and democratic right, which has been taken away. It must be restored at the earliest.”

She emphasized that the commitment to restore statehood was made by both Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah on the floor of the Parliament, and that the promise must be fulfilled without further delay.
