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

BREAKING: Putin Targets EU Chief’s Plane Mid-Flight | Pilots ScrambleTo Deal With Russian Sabotage

Just days after EU Chief Ursula von der Leyen labeled Vladimir Putin a “predator,” her plane reportedly faced a suspected Russian GPS jamming attack while approaching Bulgaria. Pilots were forced to rely on paper maps after a complete blackout midflight, narrowly landing the aircraft safely. Officials linked the incident to rising Russian GPS spoofing cases since 2022. The Kremlin denied the allegations, but the timing has escalated tensions as von der Leyen pushes for a stronger European army to counter Moscow’s growing threats. #Putin #EUChief #Russia #UrsulaVonDerLeyen #PredatorRemark #AirSabotage #GPSJamming #Spoofing #AirThreat #Bulgaria #AirSafety #Geopolitics #EuropeDefense #RussianThreat #Kremlin #AirCrisis #PlaneBlackout #FTReport #SCO2025 #ChinaRussia #AirSecurity #UkraineWar #AirForce #EuropeanArmy #DefenseSpending #EUvsRussia #AirAlert #VonDerLeyen #AirspaceCrisis #RussiaStrikes Also Read Modi–Putin Bond On Display With Shared Car Ride After SCO Summit :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/modi-putin-bond-on-display-with-shared-car-ride-after-sco-summit-7847359.html?ref=DMDesc Russia, China Oppose 'Discriminatory Sanctions' Against BRICS Countries: Putin :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/russia-china-oppose-discriminatory-sanctions-against-brics-countries-putin-7846217.html?ref=DMDesc Melania Trump Urges Vladimir Putin to Consider Children in Ukraine Conflict :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/melania-trump-letter-to-putin-children-peace-ukraine-011-7832049.html?ref=DMDesc ~ED.103~HT.96~
