Former J&K chief minister Farooq Abdullah has urged the central government to correct the mistake made on August 5 and reinstate the state’s special constitutional status.
Farooq Abdullah, the former chief minister of Jammu & Kashmir, has publicly demanded that the central government rectify an error made on August 5 and restore the state’s special constitutional status.
The former leader’s statement comes amid ongoing discussions about the status of Article 370 and the special provisions that once granted Jammu & Kashmir a degree of autonomy.
Abdullah’s call highlights the importance of the special status to many residents of the region, who view it as a safeguard for their cultural and political identity.
The central government has yet to respond to the demand, and it remains unclear how the issue will be addressed in the coming weeks.
