Quick Summary

On Monday, the assembly of India-held Kashmir voted in favor of restoring statehood, a non-binding resolution that has been criticized by politicians from Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s party as “anti-national.” The move is part of an ongoing debate about the region’s autonomy since New Delhi revoked its special status in 2019. Omar Abdullah, head of the government in Kashmir, introduced the resolution asserting statehood rights, while BJP members walked out before the vote, deeming it unconstitutional and anti-national.

Story summary

Omar Abdullah, who leads the government in India-held Kashmir, introduced a resolution on Monday calling for the restoration of statehood to Jammu and Kashmir. The assembly unanimously backed this non-binding resolution despite objections from members of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), who walked out before the vote, claiming it was "unconstitutional" and "anti-national." This move comes seven years after New Delhi revoked Kashmir’s limited autonomy under Article 370 in August 2019. Similar resolutions were passed in 2000 and 2024 by the legislature of IHK (India-held Kashmir). Critics argue that restoring statehood does not address the fundamental issue of self-determination for Kashmiris, a right they say has been denied since the partition of India.
