The Bharatiya Janata Party members left the Jammu and Kashmir Legislative Assembly when a resolution seeking statehood for the region was being discussed.
The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) staged a walkout in the Jammu and Kashmir Legislative Assembly as lawmakers debated a resolution that calls for granting statehood to the union territory. The exit was recorded during a session where the resolution was being tabled and discussed by opposition members.
The resolution seeks to restore full state status to Jammu and Kashmir, a demand that has been voiced by several regional parties since the territory's reorganisation in 2019. Lawmakers supporting the motion argued that statehood would provide greater autonomy and address long‑standing political grievances.
BJP legislators left the chamber in protest, signalling their opposition to the proposal and to the manner in which the debate was being conducted. The walkout underscored the heightened political tensions surrounding the statehood issue in the region.
