  "account": "Srinagar witnessed a tense assembly session on Friday as Chief Minister Omar Abdullah presented a resolution seeking the restoration of full statehood for Jammu and Kashmir. The BJP quickly reacted negatively to the proposal, which referenced an autonomy resolution from 2000. Members of the BJP ripped up copies of the resolution while shouting anti-national slogans. The opposition parties, including Congress, CPM, Peoples Conference, and PDP, supported the resolution and confronted the BJP. The opposition leader of the opposition, Sunil Sharma from the BJP, accused Omar of trying to hide the 2000 autonomy move under a new statehood resolution. Omar, however, defended the resolution, stating that statehood is a promise made by the Centre and reaffirmed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. He cited the delimitation process, elections in 2024, and assurances given by the Centre in Parliament and the Supreme Court. Omar argued that the resolution is an addition to the past decisions and does not replace or ignore them. He rejected the BJP's accusations of anti-nationality and emphasized that the demand for statehood should not be seen as a threat to the nation.",
