Pahalgam has not stalled J&K statehood talks: CM Omar Abdullah
The recent Pahalgam attack in Jammu and Kashmir has been a topic of concern for the state’s residents and government alike. The attack, which took place on April 22, left several people injured and has raised questions about the state’s security situation. Amidst the chaos and uncertainty, Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah has come forward to address the concerns of the public. In a recent statement, he emphasized that the attack has not stalled the conversation around J&K’s statehood restoration.
According to Omar Abdullah, he raised the issue of statehood during the recent NITI Aayog meeting. The meeting, which was attended by top government officials and leaders from various states, aimed to discuss the issues and challenges faced by Jammu and Kashmir. Despite the recent attack, Abdullah reiterated that the statehood talks have not stopped and that the government is committed to resolving the issue.
In an interview with a leading news agency, Abdullah said, “The recent attack in Pahalgam has not stalled the conversation around J&K’s statehood restoration. I raised the issue at the NITI Aayog meeting and emphasized the importance of resolving the issue. We are committed to finding a solution and ensuring that the statehood is restored as soon as possible.”
Abdullah’s statement comes as a relief to the people of Jammu and Kashmir, who have been patiently waiting for the statehood to be restored. The state has been a subject of controversy and debate for several years, with many calling for its independence and others demanding its merger with India. The recent attack has only added to the uncertainty and tension in the state.
However, Abdullah’s statement has also raised questions about the government’s willingness to use the J&K assembly’s special session to discuss statehood. In the past, several opposition parties have demanded that the statehood issue be discussed during the special session, but Abdullah has been unwilling to do so.
According to Abdullah, he is unwilling to use the special session to discuss statehood because he believes that it would be a waste of time. He believes that the government has more pressing issues to address, such as the state’s economic and security situation, before discussing statehood.
Despite his unwillingness to use the special session, Abdullah has assured the public that the statehood issue will be resolved soon. He believes that the government is making progress on the issue and that a solution will be found soon.
The recent Pahalgam attack has also raised questions about the state’s security situation. The attack, which was carried out by unknown assailants, has left several people injured and has raised concerns about the state’s ability to protect its citizens.
Abdullah has assured the public that the government is taking all necessary steps to ensure the security and safety of its citizens. He believes that the state’s security forces are capable of handling any situation and that the government is committed to ensuring the state’s security and stability.
In conclusion, the recent Pahalgam attack has not stalled J&K statehood talks: CM Omar Abdullah. Despite the attack, Abdullah has emphasized that the government is committed to resolving the issue and ensuring that the statehood is restored as soon as possible. The government’s willingness to discuss the issue at the NITI Aayog meeting and Abdullah’s assurance that a solution will be found soon have given hope to the people of Jammu and Kashmir that the statehood will be restored soon.
