Jammu and Kashmir Leaders Renew Calls for Statehood Restoration on Article 370 Anniversary
Seven years after the abrogation of Article 370 and the bifurcation of Jammu and Kashmir into Union Territories, political leaders including Omar and Farooq Abdullah and Congress MP Syed Naseer Hussain continue to demand the restoration of full statehood and constitutional safeguards for land and jobs. Protests and political actions mark the anniversary, while the central government maintains statehood will be restored at an appropriate time. The National Conference and Congress emphasize democratic self-governance and federal principles remain unfulfilled.
