Srinagar: National Security Advisor Ajit Doval, who returned yesterday to Kashmir Valley, informed the government that state citizens supported the action of the Center on Article 370 and welcomed the assurance of Home Minister Amit Shah in parliament. During his response to the debate in the Rajya Sabha, Amit Shah had promised that the status of the union territory for Jammu and Kashmir regions was not permanent and that if the situation improved, the government would restore statehood at an appropriate time. Shah also stressed that the Center did not want Kashmir to stay a union territory, but had to create the shift to make it better.
NSA Doval said this promise had gone well with the individuals in its ground report to the Centre.
