Unemployment in the UT is among the highest in the nation and still rising and Government is sleeping on this issue. The youth need a voice and we will be their voice on this most important issue, he added.

Singh also raised the issue of restoration of Statehood before the elections are conducted. He said that Statehood is a basic and very reasonable demand of the people of the J&K and needs to be met. J&K is proud of its heritage and deserves to be a full-fledged state governed by its own people. He urged the Centre to restore Statehood at the earliest.
