Jammu and Kashmir CM Omar Abdullah Calls for Statehood Restoration on Modi's Birthday
Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah reiterated his demand for the restoration of the region's statehood on Prime Minister Narendra Modi's 76th birthday. Abdullah highlighted that despite verbal assurances from the Centre following the 2019 revocation of Article 370, statehood has not been formally restored. He urged Ladakh's leadership to seek written guarantees rather than rely on verbal promises regarding constitutional safeguards. Abdullah noted the Centre's outlined three-step process of delimitation, elections, and statehood restoration remains incomplete.
