Last week, the J&K Assembly passed a resolution calling for restoration of special status and constitutional guarantees. The resolution was approved by a voice vote, despite protests by BJP members. All the six Congress members also voted in favour of the resolution.“We have already said the only thing left to demand after the Supreme Court verdict on Article 370 is statehood,” Karra said, adding that the BJP is misrepresenting the facts for political gains.On the SC verdict, Karra said this is the first democratic expression of the people of J&K and there should be no reason for the Centre to deny rights and protection to the population.Although NC and Congress jointly contested the Assembly polls, Congress decided against joining the Omar government untill the statehood is restored.
