Omar Abdullah brings Statehood resolution in J&K Assembly amid loud protests by BJP MLAs
Former Jammu and Kashmir chief minister Omar Abdullah presented a resolution seeking statehood for the region in the state assembly. The motion referenced a 2002 autonomy report, prompting 29 BJP legislators to disrupt proceedings by tearing the document, entering the assembly's well, and climbing onto tables, leading to a temporary adjournment. The protest was noisy and forced the house to pause.
