J&K Assembly Passes Statehood Resolution Amid BJP Protest

Jammu and Kashmir's Legislative Assembly passed Chief Minister Omar Abdullah's resolution demanding immediate restoration of full statehood, prompting BJP legislators to protest and walk out. Abdullah questioned the Centre's "right time" stance, saying if statehood hinges on ending militancy, the decision would effectively rest with Pakistan. BJP also moved a motion seeking the Speaker's removal.
