Jammu and Kashmir Assembly Passes Statehood Resolution Amid BJP Protests and Speaker Removal Motion
The Jammu and Kashmir Legislative Assembly passed a resolution moved by Chief Minister Omar Abdullah seeking the immediate restoration of full statehood. The resolution references earlier assembly resolutions on greater autonomy and special status, prompting opposition from BJP members who protested, staged walkouts, and moved a motion to remove Speaker Abdul Rahim Rather for allowing the resolution. Several amendments were proposed to include restoration of Articles 370 and 35A. The BJP supports statehood but objects to the resolution's language and references, while the ruling National Conference and allies emphasize restoring statehood without revisiting Article 370.
