Jammu and Kashmir Assembly Prepares for Statehood Resolution Amid BJP Opposition
The Jammu and Kashmir Legislative Assembly is set to debate a resolution on restoring statehood, with Chief Minister Omar Abdullah emphasizing a vote solely on statehood restoration, separate from Article 370 or special status issues. Abdullah accused BJP MLAs of avoiding the vote, while BJP Leader of Opposition Sunil Sharma claimed his party is the only one committed to statehood and accused Abdullah's government of sabotaging the process. Meanwhile, PDP MLA Waheed-ur-Rehman Para proposed an amendment to restore Articles 370 and 35A in their original form.
