The Jammu and Kashmir unit of the BJP informed Mirwaiz that the central government plans to reinstate statehood for the region while keeping Article 370 unchanged, according to Daily Excelsior.
The Jammu and Kashmir branch of the Bharatiya Janata Party conveyed to the Mirwaiz that the government intends to restore full statehood to the union territory. The party clarified that this move will not be accompanied by a reversal of Article 370, the constitutional provision that granted special status to the region.
The statement, reported by Daily Excelsior, reflects the BJP's current stance on the political restructuring of Jammu and Kashmir after its reorganisation in 2019. While the party emphasizes the return of statehood as a step toward normalcy, it maintains that the special status under Article 370 will remain suspended.
No further details on the timeline or implementation were provided in the communication. The remarks come amid ongoing discussions about the region's governance and its integration with the rest of India.
