A BJP parliamentarian told Kashmir Life that Prime Minister Narendra Modi has pledged to reinstate full statehood for Jammu and Kashmir.
A BJP member of parliament, speaking to Kashmir Life, said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi has committed to restoring full statehood to Jammu and Kashmir. The MP’s remarks come amid renewed discussions about the region’s constitutional status.
The Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir lost its statehood in August 2019 when the central government abrogated Article 370 and reorganised the area into two union territories. Since then, political parties and civil society groups have periodically called for the reinstatement of state status.
Modi’s alleged pledge, as reported by the MP, signals a possible shift in the central government’s approach, though no official statement has been released yet. Analysts note that any move to restore statehood would require parliamentary approval and could have significant political implications for the region and the nation.
