PC Chief Sajad Lone calls SC verdict on Article 370 "disappointing"; justice "eluded" people of J&K. SC directed statehood to UT be restored.

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.
