What did the Deputy CM say on full statehood?
Targeting the central government on the issue of restoration of statehood, the Deputy Chief Minister said that no one has the right to threaten a democratically elected representative in the guise of statehood.

Surinder Choudhary claimed that the attack on Chief Minister Omar Abdullah has been condemned by political parties and leaders across the country as they also believe that it was an attack on democracy.
