Congress vows to step up campaign for full statehood in Jammu & Kashmir

New Delhi – The Indian National Congress said it will ramp up its efforts to secure full statehood for Jammu and Kashmir, a Union Territory that lost its special status in August 2019. Party leaders indicated that the intensified campaign will involve a series of rallies, public meetings and outreach to local stakeholders across the region. The move comes as the Congress seeks to differentiate its stance from the ruling coalition, which has so far maintained the Union Territory arrangement. The announcement was reported by thekashmirimages.com, citing statements from senior Congress officials. The party has not disclosed a detailed timeline but emphasized that the demand for statehood remains a core part of its Jammu and Kashmir agenda.
