Tue Sep 17 06:36:51 UTC 2024: ## Congress-National Conference Alliance Vows to Restore Jammu and Kashmir’s Statehood
**Srinagar, September 17, 2024:** Congress leader Pawan Khera has declared that the Congress-National Conference alliance, if elected to power, will restore Jammu and Kashmir’s statehood. The alliance, campaigning ahead of the upcoming elections, has pledged to restore the region’s special status and autonomy.
Khera’s statement comes amidst growing demands for the restoration of Article 370, which granted special status to Jammu and Kashmir before its abrogation by the Indian government in 2019. The alliance’s commitment to this issue is likely to resonate with a significant portion of the electorate in the region, particularly those who feel disenfranchised by the current political landscape.
