Chief Minister Omar Abdullah on Monday said the Jammu and Kashmir government's push for restoration of statehood remains unchanged, with National Conference leaders planning to visit Delhi during the Monsoon Session to remind the Centre of its commitment.
"The promise made to the people in the Supreme Court, Parliament and public forums must be honoured," CM Omar told reporters on the sidelines of an event at SKICC.
He said his recent meeting with PM Modi covered statehood, J&K's financial position and ways to accelerate development works, expressing hope that people would benefit from those discussions.
On the reservation issue, the CM said a Cabinet Sub-Committee report had been sent to the Lieutenant Governor, who referred it to Delhi. After certain queries were raised by the Centre, replies have been prepared and a Cabinet meeting will be held shortly to clear the response.
CM Omar also said arrangements for Muharram have been under review for over a month, and welcomed pilgrims for the upcoming Amarnath Yatra, expressing hope for a peaceful and successful pilgrimage.
