JAMMU: Opposition National Conference (NC) today pitched for granting “regional autonomy” to Jammu, Kashmir and Ladakh during a meeting with Union Home Minister (HM) Rajnath Singh here.
The party said that setting up autonomous administrative structures for sub-regions on the pattern of Ladakh Autonomous Hill Development Council will help address regional aspirations of the people.
Expressing satisfaction over the “assurance” of the Union Home Minister on Article 35A, the NC voiced hope that it will be reflected in the way the Centre represents its case in Supreme Court.
The National Conference will support every move aimed at bringing peace in the state, provided these take care of the special status of Jammu and Kashmir and the unique identity of its people, the NC’s provincial president Devender Singh Rana, who led a 25-member delegation, told reporters after the 40-minute meeting with Singh.
