J-K CM moves resolution for full statehood restoration in assembly; BJP MLAs protest

BJP legislators tore copies of the resolution and shouted slogans after Omar Abdullah linked statehood to earlier autonomy demands, forcing a 30-minute adjournment.

  • On Friday, September 25, 2026, Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah moved a resolution in the legislative assembly seeking the immediate, unconditional restoration of full statehood to the Union Territory.
  • The resolution's reference to a 2000 autonomy mandate prompted BJP legislators to disrupt the session, contending the assembly should avoid reviving past regional autonomy debates.
  • Tensions escalated as BJP members stormed the well of the house and tore copies of the resolution, while BJP MLA R S Pathania stated, "We will not allow discussion on the issue of autonomy in the house."
  • Speaker Abdul Rahim Rather repeatedly appealed for order as slogan-shouting confrontations continued between National Conference members and the opposition, forcing him to adjourn the assembly for 30 minutes.
  • Abdullah defended the move, asserting the Union Government must honor previous assurances regarding statehood restoration, emphasizing that all conditions, including delimitation and assembly elections, have been fulfilled.
