The proposal will be brought in the winter session of Parliament
Statehood: The central government has agreed to reinstate full statehood to Jammu and Kashmir, while Ladakh will remain a union territory. A proposal regarding this decision will be presented in the winter session of Parliament starting at the end of November. Former Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah had recently met Home Minister Amit Shah and Prime Minister Narendra Modi, where he discussed about the state. Had requested for restoration of status. They were assured of restoration of statehood by the end of this year. In 2019, Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh were converted into Union Territories by removing Articles 370 and 35A, but the government restored statehood once the situation became normal. The state was reorganized under the Jammu and Kashmir Reorganization Act, 2019, and now the Parliament will have to amend this Act to give it statehood again. These changes will be made under Sections 3 and 4 of the Constitution and for this, approval from Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha will be required. After being passed by the Parliament, Jammu and Kashmir will again get the status of a state with the approval of the President.
