Will Move SC over J&K Statehood Restoration Delay: Farooq Abdullah
The restoration of statehood to Jammu and Kashmir, which was downgraded from a state to a union territory (UT) in 2019, has been a contentious issue in the region. The National Conference (NC) has been at the forefront of demanding the restoration of statehood, and its president, Farooq Abdullah, has now warned that if there is an inordinate delay in the process, his party will approach the Supreme Court.
Abdullah’s statement comes at a time when the Centre has been slow to respond to the demands for statehood. The NC president said that his party had promised the people of Jammu and Kashmir that they would work towards restoring statehood after the recent elections, but the Centre’s inaction is hindering their efforts.
“We had promised the people that after the elections, we would work towards resolving their issues. But statehood (not being restored) is stopping us,” Abdullah said in an interview. “We will approach the Supreme Court if there is an inordinate delay in the restoration of statehood.”
Abdullah’s warning is significant, as it highlights the growing frustration among the people of Jammu and Kashmir over the Centre’s inaction on the issue. The region has seen a surge in protests and demonstrations demanding statehood, and the NC has been at the forefront of these protests.
The Centre’s reluctance to restore statehood to Jammu and Kashmir is seen as a way to consolidate its control over the region. The Ladakh region, which was also downgraded from a state to a UT, has been granted greater autonomy, and the Centre has been slow to respond to similar demands from Jammu and Kashmir.
Abdullah’s statement has been seen as a warning to the Centre, which has been accused of ignoring the demands of the people of Jammu and Kashmir. The NC president has been a vocal critic of the Centre’s policies towards Jammu and Kashmir, and his warning has been seen as a sign that his party is willing to take a more confrontational approach to achieve its goals.
