J&K CM's Ultimatum To Centre: Restore Statehood Or I Will Resign

This special report focuses on the escalating political tensions surrounding the restoration of statehood to Jammu and Kashmir, featuring Chief Minister Omar Abdullah, BJP MLA RS Pathania, and National Conference spokesperson Ifrah Jaan. The Chief Minister issued a stark ultimatum, stating, 'if things continue the way they are, it is unlikely that I will be in this office when the term of this government ends.' The debate explores whether this constitutes a pressure tactic against the central government, which has repeatedly promised to restore statehood. The National Conference argues the onus is on the Centre to fulfil its assurances made in Parliament and the Supreme Court, while the BJP dismisses the Chief Minister's stance as "melodrama" and "doublespeak," urging the elected government to focus on governance amidst challenges like recent floods and terror attacks.
