In a statement issued to CNS, Tarigami said that there is nothing to boast about Jammu and Kashmir. The Home Minister’s assertions regarding holding of panchayat elections are in deep contrast to the facts. The panchayat elections were earlier conducted in 2001, 2011 and 2018. “Moreover, similar elections are being held in rest of the country but people are not being deprived of the right to elect their assemblies.
