Jammu and Kashmir Leaders Debate Restoration of Article 370 and Statehood
Jammu and Kashmir's BJP unit reaffirmed that Article 370 will not be restored, emphasizing the constitutional decision of 2019 and warning against statements that could disrupt peace. In contrast, Kashmir's chief cleric Mirwaiz Umar Farooq urged political parties to unite for restoring statehood and Article 370, calling it a moral duty to uphold people's rights. He also highlighted concerns over threats to Kashmiri Pandits and criticized the regional government for neglecting these issues. Both perspectives reflect ongoing tensions over Kashmir's political status and future.
