Unresolved Dispute: Jammu and Kashmir Beyond Article 370

Omar Abdullah, Jammu and Kashmir's Chief Minister, challenges BJP’s claim that the Kashmir issue is resolved post-Article 370 abrogation. He highlights the ongoing territorial dispute with Pakistan and urges consideration of both sides of the Line of Control. National Conference cites a 1994 Parliament resolution on Pakistan's role.

Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah countered the BJP's assertion that the Kashmir issue was settled with the repeal of Article 370. He pointed out that part of the former state remains under Pakistani occupation.

Abdullah emphasized that while one aspect of the Kashmir issue may seem addressed, the matter extends beyond the Line of Control, touching on Pakistan-occupied Kashmir.

He urged reflection on whether the entire dispute, including areas across the border, is genuinely resolved. In backing his viewpoint, National Conference leaders referred to a 1994 parliamentary resolution urging Pakistan to vacate occupied Jammu and Kashmir territories.
