PC Chief Sajad Lone calls SC verdict on Article 370 "disappointing"; justice "eluded" people of J&K. SC directed statehood to UT be restored.
The Supreme Court verdict on the pleas challenging the abrogation of the provisions of Article 370 of the Constitution is “disappointing” and justice has yet again “eluded” the people of Jammu and Kashmir, Peoples Conference (PC) Chief Sajad Lone said on December 11.

Mr. Lone said Article 370 may have been legally obliterated, but will always remain a part of our political aspirations.
The Supreme Court also directed that statehood to the union territory of Jammu and Kashmir be restored at the earliest.
In the case of statehood, Mr. Lone said the Supreme Court “sidestepped even commenting on it, thus not protecting the entire country from any future misuse, by citing precedence”.
“Yet the same misuse was subtly endorsed in J&K. Let us hope at a future date, justice wakes up from its slumber of pretence,” the PC president said.
The All-India level NEET examination was started a few years ago to counter complaints of corruption during the joint entrance examinations held at the State level. AIDSO had warned the authorities that the solution to the menace of corruption was not changing the examination system, but to investigate the corruption and punish the guilty.
