Further in his report, NSA Ajit Doval said locals feel reassured with Amit Shah’s statement on Jammu and Kashmir becoming a state again. Home Minister Amit Shah’s statement that J&K will become a state again one day at the appropriate time if situation improves and that we don’t want it to remain UT forever has been welcomed by local population, Doval said.
