Omar Abdullah Highlights J&K’s Disappointment Over Unfulfilled Statehood Promise

By A Staff Reporter

Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah expressed disappointment over the unfulfilled promise of statehood for the region, drawing a comparison with Ladakh. In a social media post, Abdullah noted that while Ladakh celebrated its Union Territory status in 2019, many residents felt angered and betrayed.

“Ladakh wasn’t even promised Statehood, they celebrated UT status in 2019 & they feel betrayed & angry. Now try to imagine how betrayed & disappointed we in J&K feel when the promise of statehood to J&K remains unfulfilled even though we have gone about demanding it democratically, peacefully & responsibly,” Abdullah stated.
