Omar Abdullah Advocates for Jammu and Kashmir Statehood Restoration

Omar Abdullah, Chief Minister of Jammu and Kashmir, met Prime Minister Narendra Modi to present a resolution aimed at restoring the region's statehood. Abdullah's party recently secured a significant victory in the assembly elections. The statehood restoration is pivotal for reinstating constitutional rights and addressing regional concerns.

Chief Minister Omar Abdullah of Jammu and Kashmir met with Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday, marking his first visit to the national capital since taking office last week.

Abdullah plans to present a resolution passed by his cabinet, urging the central government to reestablish Jammu and Kashmir's statehood. This follows his party's decisive victory in the recent assembly elections, where the National Conference secured 42 out of 90 seats.

The restoration of statehood is viewed as essential for healing, protecting constitutional rights, and preserving the region's unique identity. Abdullah, with his cabinet's backing, is now tasked with advocating for this cause at the national level.
