Abdullahs aim at Congress Mukt Kashmir
The Sunday Guardian|November 10, 2024
It is evident that politics is being played out in the Jammu and Kashmir Assembly where a demand for the restoration of Article 370 as well as other provisions has been made by various groups.

Chief Minister Omar Abdullah and his party, the National Conference initiated the move by moving a f resolution seeking dialogue with the Centre. Another section led by Sajjad Lone also presented a draft for a stronger resolution, terming the official one as too soft.

The point is that it is well known that the state Assembly does not have the powers to revoke the Centre's decisions of f 2019. The abrogation of Article 370 and the special status e of Jammu and Kashmir is irrevocable, and like the partition of India cannot be reversed, this too shall never happen. No ¿ government in the future as well, may find it easy to undertake this political adventure of restoring 370.

Therefore, the question which arises is that why Omar Abdullah and his government would initiate such an action when there are elections being held in Maharashtra and Jharkhand and where the fallout of such a move cannot be good for the I.N.D.I.A bloc partners. The BJP has a very clear stand on the issue and would obviously exploit any development which shows I.N.D.I.A bloc constituents favouring the demand for restoration of Article 370.

It has been seen in the past that Kashmir does impact the polls, and in the 2019 Parliamentary elections, the Pulwama attack became a major factor leading to a historic win by the BJP. Omar may have his reasons for bringing in a resolution, and these could be to address those who supported the National Conference in the recently concluded Assembly polls.
