Srinagar: National Conference president Farooq Abdullah Sunday said NC-Congress combine was not afraid of Union home minister Amit Shah’s comment in Jammu that “it (NC-Congress) should stop fooling people by promising statehood as only Centre can restore the status.” “We are committed to ensure restoration of full statehood to J&K one day,” Farooq said.Talking to mediapersons after paying tribute to his father Sheikh Abdullah on his 42nd death anniversary at his mausoleum in Hazratbal, Farooq said, “Time will come when J&K will get back full statehood.” He was flanked by his son Omar Abdullah and other party leaders.“BJP had claimed that terrorism would be wiped out in J&K, after abrogation of Article 370. Has terrorism ended in J&K?
