Ram Madhav assures full statehood to Valley after situation normalises

Jammu, Aug 17 (ANI): National general secretary of Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), Ram Madhav addressed Jammu and Kashmir issues in Jammu on August 16. Ram Madhav said, "A Bill has been formed; by October end, laws will be formulated under it. After Oct 31, Jammu and Kashmir will stay a Union Territory with legislature for some time and like the Home Minister clarified in Parliament, as situation normalises it'll be granted full statehood. Delimitation of seats in Assembly here will have to be done again. There will be 114 seats here, 24 out of them are for PoK, they will stay vacant. Remaining 90 seats will be for the rest of Jammu and Kashmir." He further said, "There are groups here devoid of basic human rights. We know about Kashmiri Pandits who are forced to live as refugees in their own country. Rearrangement of their rights will be done. West Pakistan refugees are also here, their rights will also be given back to them."
