Gandhi said people are in pain in the state and the Congress is of the view that restoration of statehood and democratic process is the first step.
He said his ancestors moved from Kashmir to Allahabad and he was moving towards Kashmir with love and affection.
Gandhi said that he looking forward with an open mind, and asserted that on Article 370, he stands by the Congress Working Committee resolution.
