The Congress has taken a stand in Jammu and Kashmir that it will not join the cabinet until statehood is restored there, Rajya Sabha MP Digvijaya Singh said on Wednesday. The party also vowed to intensify its movement demanding restoration of statehood in Jammu and Kashmir.

The Congress claimed that even though elections have taken place in Jammu and Kashmir, the elected government has no power, with the lieutenant governor given all kinds of authority. Singh said there is a coalition government in Jammu and Kashmir but the Congress has decided not to join the cabinet until statehood is restored there.
