Will Move SC Over J&K Statehood Restoration Delay: Farooq Abdullah
In a stern warning to the Centre, National Conference President Farooq Abdullah has threatened to approach the Supreme Court if there is an inordinate delay in the restoration of statehood to the now Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir. Abdullah’s statement comes at a time when the people of J&K are eagerly waiting for the resolution of their issues, and the delay in statehood restoration is becoming a major concern.
In an interview with Hindustan Times, Abdullah said, “After the elections, people wanted their issues to be resolved immediately, but statehood (not being restored) is stopping us.” The National Conference President was clear in his warning, stating that if the Centre does not take concrete steps to restore statehood to J&K, his party will have no option but to approach the Supreme Court.
Abdullah’s warning assumes significance in the backdrop of the ongoing political uncertainty in J&K. The Centre’s decision to revoke Article 370 and reorganize the state into two Union Territories – Jammu and Kashmir, and Ladakh – has led to widespread protests and unrest in the region. The people of J&K are demanding restoration of statehood, and the Centre’s delay in fulfilling this demand has led to growing discontent among the masses.
The National Conference President’s warning is also significant in light of the recent developments in the region. The Centre’s decision to hold Assembly elections in J&K has been seen as a significant step towards restoring democracy in the region. However, the delay in restoring statehood has led to concerns that the Centre may be planning to keep J&K under its direct control for a longer period.
Abdullah’s statement is also seen as a reflection of the growing frustration among the people of J&K, who are tired of the Centre’s delay in fulfilling their demands. The people of J&K have been demanding restoration of statehood, and the Centre’s delay in fulfilling this demand has led to growing resentment among the masses.

However, the Centre has been maintaining that the restoration of statehood is a complex issue, and the government is working towards finding a solution. The Centre has also been maintaining that the decision to hold Assembly elections in J&K is a significant step towards restoring democracy in the region.
The Centre’s decision to hold Assembly elections in J&K has been seen as a significant step towards restoring democracy in the region. The elections were held in eight phases, and the results are expected to be announced soon. However, the delay in restoring statehood has led to concerns that the Centre may be planning to keep J&K under its direct control for a longer period.
The restoration of statehood to J&K is a complex issue, and the Centre has been maintaining that it requires a careful consideration of the constitutional and legal implications. However, the National Conference President’s warning is a clear indication that the party is not willing to tolerate any further delay in the restoration of statehood.
The Centre’s decision to revoke Article 370 and reorganize the state into two Union Territories – Jammu and Kashmir, and Ladakh – has also led to concerns about the fate of the state’s special status. The Centre has been maintaining that the special status of J&K is being maintained, but the National Conference President’s warning is a clear indication that the party is not convinced about the Centre’s intentions.
In conclusion, Farooq Abdullah’s warning to the Centre is a clear indication that the National Conference is not willing to tolerate any further delay in the restoration of statehood to J&K. The Centre’s delay in fulfilling this demand has led to growing discontent among the masses, and it is essential that the government takes concrete steps to restore statehood to J&K at the earliest.
