Modi's August Shock? J&K Statehood Returns To News As Omar Abdullah Predicts Major Political Twist

Amid a flurry of high-level meetings involving PM Modi, President Murmu, and Home Minister Amit Shah, speculation over the restoration of Jammu & Kashmir’s statehood is back in the spotlight. Former CM Omar Abdullah added fuel to the fire by calling the momentum a “gut feeling,” even as he denied meeting any central leaders. The renewed political chatter comes ahead of the August 5 anniversary of Article 370's revocation. While local leaders continue demanding statehood, the Centre has yet to announce a clear timeline. #Modi #OmarAbdullah #JammuAndKashmir #Statehood #AmitShah #Murmu #J&KPolitics #Article370 #IndiaNews #PoliticalBuzz #UnionTerritory #RestorationOfStatehood #BreakingNews #JammuKashmirUpdate #ModiPromise #NC #Congress #NationalConference #BJP #IndianPolitics #JammuAndKashmirNews #StatehoodDemand #Kashmir #KashmirBuzz #MurmuModiMeet #ShahInKashmir #OmarSpeaks #JammuUpdate #IndianGovt #August5 Also Read Amit Shah In Rajya Sabha Says "Hindus Can Never Be Terrorists" :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/amit-shah-in-rajya-sabha-says-hindus-can-never-be-terrorists-7816165.html?ref=DMDesc Amit Shah Slams Congress Over Operation Sindoor, Says “Pakistan Was Brought to Its Knees” :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/amit-shah-slams-congress-over-operation-sindoor-says-pakistan-was-brought-to-its-knees-7816059.html?ref=DMDesc 3 Pahalgam Attack Terrorists Killed In Operation Mahadev, Amit Shah Slams Opposition in Lok Sabha :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/3-pahalgam-attack-terrorists-killed-in-operation-mahadev-amit-shah-slams-opposition-in-lok-sabha-7813891.html?ref=DMDesc
