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

Pahalgam Terror Elimination: India’s Swift Justice in Operation Mahadev| Oneindia

Pahalgam Terror Elimination was executed with precision and resolve as India’s security forces took down the three terrorists responsible for the brutal April 22 Pahalgam attack. Under Operation Mahadev, the Indian Army, CRPF, and Jammu & Kashmir Police eliminated Suleman, Afghani, and Jibran near Srinagar. Forensic tests, Pakistani-made arms, and direct identification confirmed their involvement. The Pahalgam Terror Elimination showcases India’s zero-tolerance stance against terrorism and the government's commitment to justice. In Amit Shah’s words, the message is clear—those who attack innocent lives on Indian soil won’t walk away. Pahalgam Terror Elimination is more than an operation—it's a declaration. #PahalgamTerrorElimination #OperationMahadev #IndiaFightsTerror #JusticeForPahalgam #AmitShahSpeech ~HT.178~PR.282~CA.144~GR.125~

BREAKING: Zelensky Urges PM Modi to Meet at UNGA as Trump Threatens India Over Russian Oil

In a high-stakes diplomatic moment, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky spoke with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and proposed a meeting on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly in September. The call comes as India faces escalating tariff threats from Donald Trump over its continued purchase of Russian oil — a key source of funding for Moscow’s war machine, according to Washington. Zelensky expressed gratitude for Modi’s warm words but urged stronger support from India, hinting at a potential turning point in New Delhi’s balancing act between East and West. With the Ukraine war dragging into its fourth year, global pressure is mounting.
