  "account": "Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah submitted a resolution on September 25 to his Assembly, urging the Government of India to \"immediately and urgently restore full Statehood to J&K\". The resolution, passed by 61 out of 90 members, criticized the Centre's delay despite the Supreme Court's direction to restore Statehood \"as soon as possible\" after scrapping provisions of Article 370 in 2023. The BJP opposed the resolution, arguing it added to previous resolutions in 2000 and 2024, threatened internal stability and had Pakistan's interests in mind.",
  "summary": "Why did the Statehood resolution trigger a political row? What do past resolutions on autonomy and special status mean today? And why did the BJP stay away from the vote?",
