The National Conference (NC) has pledged to restore Article 370, Jammu and Kashmir's statehood status, and its flag, according to statements by Mir Saifullah.
The National Conference (NC) has announced its intention to restore Article 370, the special constitutional provision that granted Jammu and Kashmir a degree of autonomy, as well as the state's flag and its status as a separate entity.
The party’s statement, delivered by Mir Saifullah, underscores a renewed focus on Jammu and Kashmir’s unique political identity and the demand for its re‑recognition within the Indian Union.
Article 370 was abrogated in August 2019, leading to significant political and administrative changes in the region. The NC’s pledge signals a shift in its stance towards a more assertive advocacy for the region’s autonomy.
While the party has not outlined a specific roadmap, the commitment has already sparked discussions among political analysts and stakeholders about the feasibility and implications of reinstating the article and associated symbols.
