In a bid to garner support for the restoration of Jammu & Kashmir’s Statehood, Chief Minister Omar Abdullah on Tuesday (August 5, 2025) wrote to the heads of all national political parties, including the Bharatiya Janata Party and Congress.

“Statehood is a promise made to the people of J&K in public meetings, in the Parliament, and before the Supreme Court. The issue should be raised in the Parliament so that the Bill is passed in the current session,” Mr. Abdullah said.
