In a dramatic session of the Jammu and Kashmir Assembly, members of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) introduced a resolution calling for the reversal of Article 370 abrogation, sparking intense reactions on November 3. Despite the PDP's limited presence in the assembly with just three MLAs, the move was enough to fuel heated debates among other legislators.
PDP's resolution faced immediate, strong opposition from Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) members, who demanded its dismissal and argued that the abrogation was a decisive and permanent step in integrating Jammu and Kashmir with the rest of India. BJP MLAs emphasized the lack of support for PDP leader Mehbooba Mufti among Kashmiris, suggesting that her stance does not reflect the will of the people.
The Speaker, a representative from the National Conference (NC), addressed the calls from BJP members by assuring them he would closely review the resolution. The session concluded with an understanding that further discussion on the matter would proceed after careful consideration, highlighting the ongoing political divisions and debates within the region.
