Pakistani Defence Minister Khawaja Asif stated there is a "high chance" the Congress-National Conference (NC) alliance will win Jammu and Kashmir's Assembly elections and restore Article 370. Asif's comments, made during the ongoing elections, suggest alignment between the Pakistani government and the Congress-NC coalition on the issue. The NC has pledged to reinstate Article 370, while Congress has not explicitly addressed it in their manifesto. BJP has criticized Congress for allegedly aligning with interests opposed to India's, citing support from Pakistan as evidence. The restoration of Article 370 remains a contentious issue in Jammu and Kashmir.
