The BJP leader stated that, while it is customary for the main opposition party to hold this position, no steps have been taken in this direction yet. Sunil Sharma also discussed Article 370, which was abrogated by the Parliament in 2019.

“Article 370 is now history. The Supreme Court has legitimated it, and then the people of Kashmir showed acceptance through their strong participation in the Parliamentary elections held in April and May,” he said.

The senior BJP leader expressed surprise over what he called ‘NC’s “false promises” to the people of Jammu and Kashmir, especially on the abrogation of Article 370.

He accused the National Conference of “trying to revive old politics that misled the youth”.

“In the past, their politics encouraged youth to take to the streets with stones in their hands and it ended with the removal of Article 370. Now they are trying to bring it back, but BJP will never allow this,” he asserted.

On the restoration of statehood, Sharma confirmed that it is indeed on the BJP’s agenda.

“Our Prime Minister and Home Minister have both promised that statehood will be restored at the right time. But this is not something that can be decided by a quick resolution from a few ministers,” he said.
