Will Move SC Over J&K Statehood Restoration Delay: Farooq Abdullah
The politics of Jammu and Kashmir have been in a state of flux since the abrogation of Article 370 in August 2019, which led to the region being downgraded from a state to a Union Territory. While the Indian government has been working towards revoking the special status of Jammu and Kashmir, the restoration of statehood to the region has been delayed. This delay has sparked concerns among the people of Jammu and Kashmir, particularly the National Conference (NC) party, which has been demanding the restoration of statehood to the region.
In a recent statement, the National Conference President, Farooq Abdullah, warned the Centre that his party will approach the Supreme Court if there is an inordinate delay in the restoration of statehood to Jammu and Kashmir. “After the elections, people wanted their issues to be resolved immediately, but statehood (not being restored) is stopping us,” Abdullah said. This statement has sent shockwaves across the political landscape of Jammu and Kashmir, with many interpreting it as a clear warning to the Centre to expedite the process of restoring statehood to the region.
Abdullah’s statement comes at a time when the people of Jammu and Kashmir are growing increasingly frustrated with the delay in the restoration of statehood. The region has been without a functional state government since August 2019, with the Centre’s administration taking over the reins. While the Centre has been working towards revoking the special status of Jammu and Kashmir, the restoration of statehood has been delayed, causing widespread discontent among the people of the region.
The delay in the restoration of statehood has also led to a sense of uncertainty and instability in the region. The people of Jammu and Kashmir are struggling to come to terms with the changes that have taken place in the region, and the delay in the restoration of statehood has only added to their woes. The NC party, which has been a strong advocate for the restoration of statehood to Jammu and Kashmir, has been leading the charge against the Centre’s delay in restoring statehood to the region.
Abdullah’s statement is a clear indication of the party’s frustration with the Centre’s delay in restoring statehood to Jammu and Kashmir. The NC party has been demanding the restoration of statehood to the region since the abrogation of Article 370, and Abdullah’s statement is a reflection of the party’s determination to fight for the rights of the people of Jammu and Kashmir.
The Centre’s delay in restoring statehood to Jammu and Kashmir has also been criticized by various political parties and rights organizations. The Jammu and Kashmir Pradesh Congress Committee (JKPCC) has been vocal in its criticism of the Centre’s delay in restoring statehood to the region, and has demanded that the Centre take immediate steps to restore statehood to Jammu and Kashmir.
The delay in the restoration of statehood has also had a negative impact on the economy of Jammu and Kashmir. The region’s economy has been struggling to recover from the effects of the abrogation of Article 370, and the delay in the restoration of statehood has only added to the region’s economic woes. The region’s industries, particularly the tourism industry, have been severely impacted by the delay in the restoration of statehood, and the Centre’s delay in restoring statehood has only added to the region’s economic woes.
In conclusion, Farooq Abdullah’s statement is a clear indication of the NC party’s frustration with the Centre’s delay in restoring statehood to Jammu and Kashmir. The delay in the restoration of statehood has caused widespread discontent among the people of the region, and has led to a sense of uncertainty and instability in the region. The Centre must take immediate steps to restore statehood to Jammu and Kashmir, and work towards revoking the special status of the region.
