“Until the statehood is returned, we will not be part of the cabinet, though we support the government from outside,” he told the KNS during an interview.

Karra described the demand for statehood as central to the region’s future, recalling how the special status was revoked on August 5, 2019, which resulted in the loss of fundamental rights for the people of Jammu and Kashmir.
