Thousands of National Conference supporters gathered in Delhi to demand full statehood for Jammu and Kashmir, arguing that the central government's commitments remain unmet.
On Wednesday, a rally organized by the Jammu and Kashmir National Conference (NC) took place in Delhi's central area, drawing several thousand participants.
Participants called for the restoration of Jammu and Kashmir's former status as a full‑fledged state, citing the 2019 revocation of Article 370.
The protest featured speeches, banners, and a march to Parliament, with participants demanding that the government honor its earlier promises to grant statehood.
The government has yet to respond publicly to the rally, and no official statement was released at the time of reporting.
