The cabinet led by Omar Abdullah has passed a resolution calling for the restoration of statehood to Jammu and Kashmir. This decision marks a significant step in addressing the region’s political status, which has been a contentious issue since the revocation of its special status in 2019. The resolution emphasizes the necessity of re-establishing Jammu and Kashmir as a full state, highlighting the need for a political framework that respects the aspirations of its residents. Abdullah’s cabinet aims to engage in discussions with the central government to facilitate this transition.
