The Peoples Democratic Party on Saturday released its manifesto for the Assembly elections, promising to pursue the restoration of Jammu and Kashmir's statehood.
It also promised to advocate for diplomatic initiatives between India and Pakistan, and establish full connectivity across the Line of Control for trade and social exchange.
The manifesto was released at a function at the party headquarters in Srinagar by PDP president Mehbooba Mufti along with senior leaders of the party.
The manifesto titled 'People's Aspirations' also talks about advocating a regional free-trade area and shared economic market, striving for revocation of the Public Safety Act, Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA) and Enemy Act, as well as its commitment to revocation of Armed Forces Special Powers Act.
It also promises to revisit and address the cases of 'unjust' job terminations, referring to the sacking of Jammu and Kashmir government employees over terror abetment charges.
