A draft resolution on Jammu and Kashmir’s statehood has been amended ten times, each iteration demanding explicit references to Article 370, Article 35A and the region’s autonomy.
The Jammu and Kashmir Statehood Resolution, presented in the national parliament, seeks to formalise the region’s status as a full-fledged state within the Indian Union.
The draft has undergone ten separate amendments, all of which insist on incorporating explicit references to Article 370, Article 35A and the autonomy provisions that previously governed the area.
Article 370 and Article 35A granted Jammu and Kashmir special constitutional status and special rights to its residents. By demanding these references, the amendments aim to preserve the legal safeguards that were in place before the abrogation of Article 370 in 2019.
The latest version of the resolution is currently under review by parliamentary committees, with a vote scheduled for the coming weeks. The outcome will determine whether the region’s unique legal framework is reinstated or permanently altered.
