It refers to the 2000 assembly resolution accepting the state autonomy committee report and seeking greater autonomy, and a 2024 resolution seeking special status and constitutional guarantees for J&amp;K.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"6\"\/>National Conference, Congress, PDP, Peoples Conference, Awami Ithaad Party and CPM supported it.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"8\"\/>BJP\u2019s Sunil Sharma called the resolution \u201canti-constitutional\u201d and \u201canti-secular\u201d, saying its reference to the 2000 autonomy resolution amounted to seeking restoration of J&amp;K\u2019s \u201cpre-1953 position\u201d. <!-- -->BJP said it supports restoration of statehood but opposes the resolution in its current form. Its legislators entered the well, shouted \u201cVande Mataram\u201d and \u201cBharat Mata Ki Jai\u201d and moved a motion against speaker Abdul Rahim Rather.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"13\"\/>Omar criticised BJP\u2019s opinion that statehood could be restored only after militancy ends. \u201cThen the decision regarding restoration of the statehood will not be taken directly in New Delhi but it will be taken in Islamabad,\u201d he said, adding if Pakistan is blamed for militancy, making restoration conditional on guns falling silent effectively gives Islamabad a say in when J&amp;K gets statehood.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"16\"\/>\u201cWe are not begging,\u201d Omar said. \u201cWe rightfully demand that we have the right to a statehood.\u201d<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"18\"\/>Omar said the resolution was rooted in a promise of restoring statehood and had nothing to do with Article 370, 35A or autonomy. J&amp;K lost statehood and was bifurcated into two Union territories, including Ladakh, in Aug 2019 when Centre also scrapped its special constitutional status.<\/p>\n<div data-type=\"in_view\" class=\"  \">\n<div class=\"LEzX4\">\n<div class=\"PmOGb\">\n<p class=\"PSf84\">Share your thoughts in the comments<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><button type=\"button\" class=\"sUTYm \">Insightful<\/button><button type=\"button\" class=\"sUTYm \">Agree<\/button><button type=\"button\" class=\"sUTYm \">Disagree<\/button><button type=\"button\" class=\"sUTYm \">Skeptical<\/button><button type=\"button\" class=\"sUTYm \">Concerning<\/button><button type=\"button\" class=\"sUTYm \">Promising<\/button><button type=\"button\" class=\"sUTYm \">Worth Reading<\/button><button type=\"button\" class=\"sUTYm \">Big Development<\/button><\/p>\n<p><textarea class=\"T9MbS\" rows=\"1\" placeholder=\"Add your Thoughts...\"\/><button type=\"button\" class=\"ZW6JD \" disabled=\"\">Post Comment<\/button><\/p>\n<p class=\"swnca\">Be respectful \u00b7 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.indiatimes.com\/termsandcondition\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" class=\"gkv0P\">TOI community guidelines<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"21\"\/>The CM said he had deliberately kept Article 370, 35A and special status out of the resolution to prevent BJP from using them to disrupt proceedings. <!-- -->He also criticised NC members who had moved amendments seeking references to Article 370 and 35A, saying they had provided BJP \u201can excuse to oppose it\u201d.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"25\"\/>Omar said Supreme Court had directed Centre to restore statehood \u201cat the earliest\u201d after assembly elections in 2024 and questioned whether two years could qualify as \u201cas soon as possible\u201d. Omar said there was still no clarity on when Centre considered the \u201cright time\u201d for restoration.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"27\"\/>Deputy CM Surinder Choudhary rejected BJP\u2019s position that J&amp;K\u2019s sensitive location justified its UT status, saying nearly half of India\u2019s states share borders with neighbouring countries.<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/india\/omar-abdullah-if-guns-decide-statehood-pakistan-will-decide\/articleshow\/134548876.cms\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jammu &amp;
