Jammu and Kashmir Assembly Debates Statehood Resolution Amid BJP Protests and Speaker Removal Motion
The Jammu and Kashmir Legislative Assembly is set to debate a resolution moved by Chief Minister Omar Abdullah seeking the immediate restoration of full statehood. The resolution references earlier assembly resolutions on autonomy and special status, prompting opposition from BJP legislators who object to mentions of Articles 370 and 35A. Several amendments have been proposed to explicitly include restoration of these articles. BJP has protested strongly, moving a motion to remove Speaker Abdul Rahim Rather, alleging procedural bias. The ruling National Conference and allied parties support the resolution, while BJP insists on statehood without revisiting special status.
