The bill was tabled by the ruling National Conference (NC) in line with the party’s commitment to its manifesto promise of fighting for the restoration of the territory’s special status. This bill’s passage marks a significant step in occupied Jammu and Kashmir’s ongoing political struggle for its special status, as the territory continues to face challenges following the abrogation of Article 370. This resolution advocates for the reinstatement of Article 370 for occupied Jammu and Kashmir. We are committed to strengthening democracy, and we have voiced the desires of the people and youth of [occupied] Jammu and Kashmir, he stated. Restoring Article 370 is about Kashmiris’ dignity.
