IndiaTimes Friday, 16 May 2025
J&K CM Omar Abdullah's push to restart the Tulbul Navigation Project amid Indus Water Treaty discussions sparked a feud with PDP chief Mehbooba Mufti, who accused him of "weaponising water." The leaders clashed over patriotism and regional interests, with accusations of being pro-Pakistan. The project, stalled since 1987 due to Pakistani objections, aims to aid winter power generation.

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

India Calls Out Pakistan as ‘Terror Haven’ & ‘Serial Borrower’ at UNSC — Furious Clash Over Kashmir

At the United Nations Security Council, India fiercely rebutted Pakistan’s attempts to internationalize the Kashmir issue and challenge the Indus Waters Treaty. India’s UN Ambassador P Harish accused Pakistan of harboring terrorism and disrupting international peace, labeling it a “terror haven” and “serial borrower.” Meanwhile, Pakistan’s Deputy Prime Minister Ishaq Dar insisted Kashmir is a disputed territory and demanded UN intervention. This heated exchange highlights the escalating diplomatic tensions and the complex geopolitical battle over Kashmir and water rights in South Asia. #IndiaPakistan #UNSC #KashmirConflict #IndusWatersTreaty #Terrorism #InternationalRelations #Diplomacy #SouthAsiaCrisis #GlobalPolitics #WaterDispute #UN #Geopolitics
