Mir Saifullah Says NC Will Seek to Restore J&K’s Pre-1953 Status, Recover State Flag
Newly inducted Jammu and Kashmir minister Mir Saifullah has said the National Conference will work to restore the region’s pre-1953 constitutional position and reclaim its flag, reviving one of the most politically charged demands in the Union Territory. His remarks come against the backdrop of the August 5, 2019 downgrade of Jammu and Kashmir from a state to a Union Territory, a move he described as brazen.
