Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah made a strong pitch for restoring J&K’s statehood, sharing the stage with Prime Minister Narendra Modi at a high-profile event in Katra. Abdullah humorously remarked that while Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha was “promoted”, he himself was “demoted” from being CM of a state to CM of a Union Territory.
🔴 Key Highlights:
- Abdullah recalled his past engagements with PM Modi, including the 2014 inauguration of Katra Railway Station.
- He expressed hope that J&K would regain statehood under PM Modi’s leadership.
- The event marked the launch of Vande Bharat Express trains, connecting Jammu division with Kashmir.
📢 Abdullah’s Statement:
- “By the blessings of Mata Vaishno Devi, Sinha got a promotion, and I had a demotion. But I believe it won’t take long to rectify it.”
- “J&K will again get statehood under your watch, PM Modi.”
⚠️ Political & Strategic Impact:
- Statehood restoration remains a key demand among J&K’s political leaders.
- The Centre has repeatedly assured that statehood will be reinstated after Assembly elections.
- Public skepticism remains high, with many questioning the timeline for J&K’s return to full statehood.
