J-K CM moves resolution; BJP protests
On September 25, 2026, Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah submitted a resolution to the state assembly requesting the immediate restoration of full statehood to the region. The resolution cited past motions passed by the assembly - one on June 26, 2000 and another on November 6, 2024 - as well as the promise made by the Indian government to restore full statehood.
The NC-led government under Omar Abdullah has been advocating for greater autonomy for Jammu and Kashmir, echoing a resolution passed in 2000. Last year, the assembly again called for the re-establishment of special status. However, when BJP legislators attempted to raise concerns about the discussion on J&K's autonomy, they faced opposition from the ruling party members.
The resolution now moves forward to be sent to the Government of India, seeking to fulfill the long-standing promise to restore full statehood to Jammu and Kashmir.
