In view of regaining full statehood in Jammu Kashmir, senior leader and Democratic Progressive Azad Party (DPAP) chairman Ghulam Nabi Azad on Saturday called for a unified political approach for the restoration of Jammu and Kashmir`s statehood.

As reported by news agency PTI, Ghulam Nabi Azad also expressed his concerns over the state of development in Jammu and Kashmir, saying while central projects were progressing, state-level initiatives were ’completely halted.’

Ghulam Nabi Azad, while addressing the media, stated that "Even the prime minister and the home minister have committed to restoring it (statehood) on the floor of Parliament. Some mistakes kept happening, due to which there was a delay. First, a demand should be placed (before the government), but people immediately take to the streets," as per PTI.
