The Indian National Congress has demanded that elections in Jammu and Kashmir be held according to the Supreme Court-set deadline, accusing the BJP's policy on the region of not respecting 'Kashmiriyat' nor upholding 'Jamhuriyat'. The Congress chief, Mallikarjun Kharge, criticized the Modi government's policy, which he claimed would help integrate the region, boost economic development, and prevent terrorism and separatism.
