On 17th October, the birthday of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah released a statement via official media channels.
The CM urged that the statehood of Jammu and Kashmir be restored, saying that if nothing else could be achieved, statehood should be granted.
His comments come as the region remains a focal point of constitutional debates following the revocation of Article 370 in 2019 and the subsequent reorganisation of the state.
The call for statehood restoration highlights the political position of the state government and adds to the broader discussion on Jammu and Kashmir’s future within India.
