Srinagar, Oct 18: Peoples Conference (PC) chief and MLA Handwara Sajad Gani Lone Thursday said he wonders why a resolution on statehood passed by the cabinet is "shrouded in mystery and secrecy."

Lone said, the will of the J&K people must reflect in the assembly and not in the cabinet.

Cabinet, Lone said is a majoritarian institution of governance and does not reflect all shades and opinions as per the will of the people.

"All across the country, to the best of my knowledge, Assembly is the proper institution for addressing major issues like that of statehood or Article 370. When the NC Government passed a resolution on autonomy they passed it in the Assembly not through a cabinet resolution. What has changed now," asked Lone on his official X-handle.

"Would have loved to see which way BJP and other parties vote on statehood and on Article 370 resolution when it is presented in the Assembly," Lone wrote.

Mentioning promises stated in JKNC's manifesto on restoring article-370 and statehood in his post, Lone said, people aren't demanding or expecting anything extraordinary and that govt should do what it promised to J&K people.
