Sajad Lone Advocates Administrative Separation Between Jammu and Kashmir Amid Regional Disputes

Peoples Conference leader Sajad Lone has publicly called for an "amicable divorce" between Jammu and Kashmir, citing longstanding regional disputes and development issues. He criticized Jammu-based leaders for opposing Kashmir-centric initiatives while remaining silent on their own region's setbacks. Lone's remarks follow BJP legislator Sham Lal Sharma's demand for a separate Jammu state, which BJP later distanced itself from. BJP MP Jugal Kishore reaffirmed the party's commitment to restoring statehood to the Union Territory, opposing separation demands. The debate intensified amid controversy over the location of a National Law University in Kashmir.
