NC to Raise Statehood Issue in Parliament, Says Mian Altaf, ‘We Support Rahul Gandhi’s Call, BJP Treating Statehood Casually’

=> Reaffirming its stand on the restoration of Jammu and Kashmir’s statehood, the National Conference on Tuesday said it would raise the issue vociferously in the ongoing Parliament session. Party MP Mian Altaf Ahmad made it clear that the National Conference is committed to the demand and supports all voices, including that of Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, in seeking the reinstatement of Jammu and Kashmir’s full statehood.

“We are definitely supporting it. Our party president Dr. Farooq Abdullah, has already welcomed Rahul Gandhi’s letter urging the Prime Minister to restore J&K’s statehood. We will raise this issue in Parliament without fail,” Mian Altaf told the news agency Kashmir News Trust.

The senior NC parliamentarian, who represents the Anantnag–Rajouri seat in the Lok Sabha, criticized the Bharatiya Janata Party for what he called its evasive approach. “The BJP keeps repeating that statehood will be restored at an 'appropriate time', but that is neither the right perspective nor a satisfactory answer. It reflects a lack of seriousness,” he remarked.

Mian Altaf said the BJP seems to be taking the matter of statehood restoration lightly, despite the deep emotional, administrative, and political significance it holds for the people of Jammu and Kashmir. He argued that the continued status of Jammu and Kashmir as a Union Territory is unacceptable and unconstitutional, given its historical status as a full-fledged state.

He further said that the National Conference will support any political party or Member of Parliament who stands for the restoration of statehood to Jammu and Kashmir, irrespective of party lines. “This is not about party rivalry; it is about the rights and dignity of our people,” he said. [KNT]

Congress to hold protest over Statehood demand today in Delhi; ‘LoP Rahul Gandhi likely to join’ ‘We are on the way to Jantar Mantar’: G A Mir

=> The Jammu and Kashmir Pradesh Congress Committee (JKPCC),under its ‘Delhi Chalo’ programme, will hold a protest today at Jantar Mantar, to demand the restoration of full statehood to Jammu and Kashmir.

The demonstration is being led by the Jammu and Kashmir Pradesh Congress Committee (JKPCC) under the leadership of J&K Congress President Tariq Hameed Karra.

As part of the party’s ongoing ‘Delhi Chalo’ campaign, Congress leaders and workers from J&K reached the national capital on Monday.

According to AICC General Secretary Ghulam Ahmad Mir, the group is on its way to the protest site. “Yes, we are heading to Jantar Mantar ,” he told news agency KINS over phone.

Sources said that Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi is likely to join the protest at around 12 PM.

This protest follows earlier demonstrations in Srinagar on July 19 and Jammu on July 20, where the Congress raised the same demand.

Speaking to reporters earlier, Ghulam Ahmad Mir accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi of not keeping his word. “The Prime Minister promised several times — inside and outside Parliament — that statehood would be restored. But even after 10 months since the Lok Sabha elections, nothing has happened,” he said.

Tariq Hameed Karra called the restoration of statehood a “constitutional right” of the people of J&K. “We want to wake up this deaf and blind government. They made promises and are now silent. We are going to Delhi to hold them accountable,” he said.

Karra added that today’s protest is part of a larger movement triggered by a letter sent by Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge and Rahul Gandhi to the Prime Minister, urging immediate restoration of statehood.

“We won’t stop until the promise made to the people of J&K is fulfilled,” Karra said.–(KINS)

Ladakh Set to Get Five New Districts Ahead of Crucial Elections

=>In a move that could significantly reshape the administrative landscape of Ladakh, the Union Territory is set to witness the creation of five new districts, three in Leh and two in Kargil. The proposal, backed by political representatives and local administrative bodies, is seen as a landmark decision ahead of the crucial elections scheduled for September–October this year.

The decision is in response to long-standing demands from various regions within Ladakh for improved governance, enhanced administrative outreach, and equitable development. Government sources stated that the creation of these districts aims to ensure the improved delivery of public services, enhanced infrastructure, and more localized governance in the remote and often inaccessible regions of the UT.

Sources told the news agency Kashmir News Trust that, a high-level delegation from the Ladakh Autonomous Hill Development Council (LAHDC) Leh is preparing for a crucial meeting with Union Home Minister Amit Shah in New Delhi. The meeting, expected to take place in the coming days, will cover a range of issues including the upcoming elections, the need for delimitation following the announcement of new districts, and broader concerns about governance and representation in the region.

Officials privy to the matter said that the delegation will seek the Home Minister’s immediate attention on the reorganization of district boundaries, proper legal and administrative sanction for the new districts, and necessary updates to the electoral framework ahead of the September–October polls.

The demand for new districts is not new. Over the past several years, people from Nubra, Changthang, Zanskar, Drass, and other remote areas have repeatedly voiced concern over administrative neglect. With Leh and Kargil headquarters located far from many of these regions, locals have struggled to access basic public services, government offices, and developmental schemes.

The new districts are expected to decentralize power, bring the administration closer to the people, and empower local governance systems.
While the final names and boundaries of the new districts have yet to be officially disclosed, sources indicated that Nubra, Changthang, and a third area in Leh are being considered, while in Kargil, the focus is on granting district status to Zanskar and Drass, two of the most isolated and often neglected regions of the division.

Apart from the creation of new districts, the LAHDC delegation is also expected to push for clarity on delimitation guidelines and timelines for publishing updated electoral rolls. Given the short window before the elections, the delegation will press for urgent action and firm assurances from the Centre. [KNT]
