Srinagar, 07, July 2026: The restoration of Statehood has always been the core agenda of the Jammu and Kashmir Apni Party. From the very beginning, we honestly told the people that under the present circumstances, our immediate and practical demand was the restoration of Statehood.
At that time, our political opponents mocked us. They called us “Delhi’s party” and asked people to vote for them on the promise that they would restore Article 370 and Article 35A. They rejected our stand and tried to portray us as being on the wrong side.
Today, the same leaders are demanding Statehood and talking about protests for it. Time has proved who was honest with the people. The very demand they once ridiculed has now become their own agenda.
The Jammu and Kashmir Apni Party welcomes every sincere effort for the restoration of Statehood because this is not about one political party—this is about the rights and future of the people of Jammu and Kashmir. But the people have every right to ask: if Statehood is now the priority, why were votes sought in the name of Article 370 and Article 35A instead?
If political parties are serious today, then let us move beyond slogans and political point-scoring. Let us unite on one platform and raise one collective voice for the restoration of Statehood. The people deserve honesty, consistency, and action not changing narratives after every election.
