JAMMU, Dec 7: Reacting to the statement of Home Minister's categoric no to restore Dogra state at least before elections, J&K PCC Chief Spokesperson Ravinder Sharma said that on one hand it is insult to dogras and other peace loving people of Jammu and Kashmir while on the other hand amounts to backtracking from the commitment on the floor of parliament. Sharma said it is very unfortunate that the centre tries to brush aside one of the main demand of all people of Jammu and Kashmir to restore the lost identity and dignity of historical dogra state which was ruthlessly and arbitrarily disbanded, divided and downgraded against the wishes of entire population of Jammu and Kashmir. “The centre should honour its commitment on the floor of the parliament which repeated, time again, on all important occasions and restore the state without further delay, in any case, before assembly elections and hold the assembly elections, at the earliest possible, after concluding the delimitation process well within time, in a fair and transparent manner,” he said.
