People's Conference would back any resolution on restoration of Art 370 in assembly: Sajad Lone
Sep-05-2024

People’s Conference (PC) president Sajad Lone said his party would support any resolution in the Jammu and Kashmir legislative assembly that seeks to restore Article 370.

Addressing the media, Sajad Lone said, ‘If there is a resolution in the assembly, we will support it. But, if no one brings it, then we will bring a resolution’. Lone added that passing a resolution in the assembly was primarily a 'moral thing.' On the restoration of Article 35A, PC chief said such a provision can be partially restored in the J-K assembly if its statehood is restored. ‘We can pass some parts of it in the assembly here like Himachal Pradesh did’, he added. 

Asked whether his party will enter into a pre-poll alliance with any other party, Lone said the People's Conference will contest the upcoming elections independently. The PC chief released the party's manifesto for the upcoming assembly elections, which includes promises to fight for the restoration of Article 370 and statehood and resolve the longstanding Kashmir issue. The party promised to strive for the repeal of laws like AFSPA, PSA and Enemy Agents Ordinance and make efforts towards the release of political prisoners. Manifesto also assured to work towards a dignified return of Kashmiri Pandits if elected to power.
