Srinagar, Mar 26 (KNO): The Jammu & Kashmir Legislative Assembly is set for action-packed proceedings on April 7, with three separate resolutions seeking immediate restoration of J&K’s statehood to come up for discussion and voting. As per the news agency—Kashmir News Observer (KNO), in an interesting development, three resolutions seeking restoration of J&K’s statehood would be listed in business of the House on April 7, one of the two days earmarked for Private Member Resolutions. The resolutions, mild in tone, have been brought by NC MLAs Qaiser Jamsheed Lone and Hilal Akbar Lone and Independent MLA Shabir Kulley. Two of the three resolutions invoke commitments made by the Central Government and the Prime Minister on J&K’s statehood. “This House resolves that statehood be restored immediately as promised by the Central Government in the Parliament of India,” reads the resolution brought by Qaiser Jamsheed Lone.
