The National Conference (NC) has presented its platform for the Jammu and Kashmir Assembly Elections 2024, which includes twelve essential assurances. Among the most prominent pledges are the restoration of Article 370, which provided Jammu and Kashmir special status, and the resumption of statehood, as well as the fulfilment of the Assembly`s 2000 autonomy decision.

In June 2000, the NC government, led by Farooq Abdullah, tabled a motion in the Assembly aiming to restore Jammu and Kashmir`s pre-1953 constitutional status. However, this was rejected by the Union Cabinet led by then-Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee. In 2019, the Modi government repealed Article 370, dividing the former state into two union territories: Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh, reported PTI.
