J&K Set for Historic Polls: ECI Announces Assembly Elections After Decade-Long Wait| Peoples’ Voice

The Election Commission of India (ECI) has announced a pivotal development for Jammu and Kashmir, scheduling assembly elections to be held in three phases starting September 18, after a decade of administrative control.

This long-awaited decision has sparked a wave of anticipation among locals and political leaders.

Residents like Waseem Hassan and Javed Ahmad welcome the return of local governance, eager to address regional issues directly through elected representatives.

However, political reactions are mixed: the PDP, led by Mehbooba Mufti, has criticised the short campaign period, while the BJP views the announcement as a clear path to victory, accusing the PDP of making excuses.

The last assembly elections in 2014 saw a brief PDP-BJP coalition, and the new polls aim to restore political stability and local autonomy in the region.

PDP Leader Mehbooba Mufti Thanks Donald Trump for India-Pakistan Ceasefire: ‘So Many People Died…’

In a striking statement, PDP leader and former Jammu & Kashmir Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti has thanked Donald Trump for mediating the India-Pakistan ceasefire, calling it a crucial step—but one that came too late. “So many people died... this should have happened earlier,” she said, reflecting the sorrow and frustration of civilians caught in the crossfire. While praising the U.S. role in diffusing tensions, Mehbooba also urged both nations to engage in sustained dialogue to prevent future escalations. #IndiaPakistanCeasefire #TrumpOnIndiaPakistan #DonaldTrumpCeasefire #IndiaPakWarStopped #CeasefireAgreement #FullImmediateCeasefire #IndoPakCeasefire #IndiaPakistanNews #CeasefireBetweenIndiaAndPakistan #IndiaPakistanDeescalation #MehboobaMufti #TrumpIndiaPakistanWar #DGMOIndia #TrumpCeasefireDeal #DonaldTrumpTweetOnIndia Also Read Trump Declares Columbus Day Will Remain Unchanged Amid Indigenous Peoples Day Recognition :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-reinstates-columbus-day-amid-indigenous-peoples-day-debate-011-4136967.html?ref=DMDesc Trump Considers Temporary Exemption from Auto Tariffs to Aid Car Manufacturers Amid Economic Challenges :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-considers-temporary-exemption-auto-tariffs-011-4124041.html?ref=DMDesc Trump Dismisses General Tim Haugh from National Security Agency Amidst Congressional Concerns :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-fires-general-tim-haugh-national-security-agency-011-4115013.html?ref=DMDesc ~PR.152~ED.194~HT.336~
