Srinagar – In a significant move, the Jammu and Kashmir Assembly has passed a resolution calling for the restoration of Article 370, which previously granted special autonomy to the region.

According to Kashmir Uzma, the resolution, presented by Deputy Chief Minister Surinder Chaudhary, was passed with a majority vote on Wednesday, the third day of the Assembly session.

Chief Minister Omar Abdullah, when asked about the development, remarked, “The Assembly has done its job; that’s all I’ll say on this matter.” His response indicates a focus on letting the legislative process speak for itself without further commentary.

However, the decision sparked strong opposition from BJP leaders within the Assembly, who staged a protest, calling the resolution an “anti-national agenda.” They stated, “We reject this resolution, as it is against the interests of India.
