Jammu, Oct. 16 -- Following the first year anniversary of the National Conference (NC) government in the Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir, Chief Minister Omar Abdullah asserted that the solution to all of Jammu and Kashmir's problems lies in restoring statehood.

CM Abdullah said, "Working under a UT regime is a unique experience. We were hopeful that the Central government would fulfill its promise of statehood for Jammu and Kashmir within the first year. We still believe that the solution to all of Jammu and Kashmir's problems lies in restoring statehood. I would urge the Government of India, PM Modi, that the promise made in the Parliament and Supreme Court should be fulfilled and the statehood should be restored."
