Srinagar, June 22 -- National Conference president Farooq Abdullah on Saturday said that his party would move the Supreme Court if there is an inordinate delay in the restoration of statehood to Jammu and Kashmir. Former Jammu and Kashmir chief minister Abdullah said that the central government had promised to restore statehood once an elected government comes into power in J&K and it hasn't been granted despite eight months of the government. "Once statehood comes all the powers of the elected government will be restored. I am hopeful for the restoration," Abdullah told reporters. Abdullah, however, warned that in case statehood isn't restored then the stand of the NC is clear that they will go to the Supreme Court. "If the statehood is delayed then we will have no option but to move to the Supreme Court," he said. "I am hopeful that when statehood is restored, we will get all the powers," he added. After coming to power in J&K with a comfortable majority, the restoration of statehood has been the main demand of the party and almost all the senior leaders have been raising the issue about statehood. Commenting on the Israel-Iran conflict, the National Conference president said he prays to God to give sense to both countries to stop the war. "I pray that God gives both Israel as well as Iran some sense and give (Donald) Trump some sense also so that he talks about peace and not war. The issues can only be resolved peacefully and nothing will be achieved without peace," he said. Recently during the flag off ceremony of Vande Bharat train, J&K chief minister Omar Abdullah had raised the statehood issue in front of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The J&K CM also raised statehood issues when PM Modi inaugurated Z Morh tunnel. The BJP leaders and central ministers have maintained that J&K will get statehood at an appropriate time, even some BJP leaders linked the J&K's statehood to an improvement in law and order situation. Addressing his party workers earlier, Abdullah while referring to the April 22 Pahalgam attack said the attackers managed to reach Baisaran and carry out the attack despite the presence of so many security forces and technologies like drones. "They (Centre) said we ended militancy here, then where did they (Pahalgam attackers) come from? We have so many forces, so many drones etc. Where did those four (attackers) come from?" asked Abdullah. "We have not been able to find them till yet. We say that we are a powerful nation now and there is no match to us, but we cannot find those four," he said....
