J-K CM moves resolution for full statehood restoration in assembly; BJP MLAs protest
Sep-25-2026

Chief Minister Omar Abdullah moved a resolution in the legislative assembly seeking the urgent restoration of full statehood to Jammu and Kashmir. After the passage of Question Hour, CM Omar moved a resolution on full restoration of statehood to J&K. BJP MLAs protested against the resolution, which has a reference to the autonomy resolution moved by National Conference (NC) government in June 2000 when Jammu and Kashmir was a state. 

It reads, ‘In addition to the resolutions passed by this House on June 26, 2000 and 6th November 2024, this House calls upon the Government of India for the immediate and urgent restoration of full statehood to J&K and resolves that this resolution be forwarded to Government of India’. The NC-led Farooq Abdullah government on June 26, 2000 had passed a resolution in the then J&K Assembly on restoration of autonomy. On November 6, 2024, the Assembly passed a resolution seeking restoration of special status to J&K that was scrapped on August 5, 2019 by centre.

Omar said, ‘People of J&K were promised. The promise was made in parliament, Supreme Court and in public forums about a three-step process-first delimitation, then election and then restoration of statehood. The delimitation and election has taken place and people overwhelmingly participated in elections and there was not a single complaint that people were forced out to cast their votes’. He further said voters came out in such areas, where they had least expectation of such high percentage voting. 

While, the resolution was welcomed by the ruling treasury benches and Congress members by thumping of the desks. The PDP members and lone AAP member also supported the resolution. The BJP members tore copies of the resolution and stormed in the well of the house amidst continued sloganeering including chants of ‘Bharat Mata Ki Jai’. The NC and Congress members countered the BJP member by chanting slogans like ‘Cheen Ke Lege Apna Haq’, ‘Jis Kashmir Ko Khoon Se Seecha Wo Kashmir Hamara Hai’, etc.

Assembly Speaker Abdul Rahim Rather adjourned the Assembly for half an hour as noisy scenes continued, with both treasury and opposition BJP members engaged in sloganeering.
