Debate Continues Over Jammu and Kashmir Statehood and Article 370 Status
The demand to restore Jammu and Kashmir's full statehood and special constitutional status remains a key issue. National Conference leaders highlight support from the INDIA alliance and some BJP voices for statehood restoration. Congress acknowledges opposition to the manner of Article 370's abrogation but stops short of calling for its return, emphasizing restoration of statehood and special rights. Historical context shows Article 370 was intended as temporary, with ongoing debates about Kashmir's status continuing across political lines.
