Buzz about the recovery of the state for Jammu and Kashmir dominated the chatter on social media in the midst of the back-to-back meetings of the president with Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the Minister of the Interior Amit Shah.
Shah also held meetings with some J&K leaders and the BJP chef of the former state, which was split into two trade union areas and its special status was lifted six years ago.
The fact that these meetings arrived on August 5 on August 5 days before the article 370 has only added grain to the rumor mill.
On August 3, PM Modi President Droupadi Murmu called in the Rashtrapati Bhavan in New Delhi. Interesting is that details of the meeting are not made available. Usually a PIB declaration of such meetings follows.
Hours later Amit Shah had a one-on-one meeting with the president.
In the first two days of the month, the Minister of the Interior also held meetings with J&K BJP Chief was Sharma and Lieutenant -Gouverneur of Ladakh Kavinder Gupta.
On Monday, the president of the All J&K SHIA Association, Imran Raza Ansari, met Shah to discuss the reality on the ground in the field of the Union.
Social media on overdrive
The hectic meetings in the power corridors of New Delhi did not go unnoticed by experts and social media, who speculated that it could be a precursor to bring legislation to grant J&K.
Retired army officer and author Kanwal Jeet Singh Dhillon, followed by Minister of Defense Rajnath Singh, said there was a lot of speculation about what could be announced on August 5.
“The peace in Kashmir has come about a major cost of human lives … We should not hurry in a hasty decision. While the consolidation phase is underway for the restoration of peace – let the whole thing settle, let’s not jump the gun,” tweeted Dhillon.
Ask for J&K Statehood
On August 5, 2019, J&K was abandoned from Article 370, J&K in two trade union areas – J&K and Ladakh – under the J&K Reorganization Act, 2019.
It not only solved the J&K -Wegentiging power, but also placed the administration under the control of the center, via a lieutenant governor.
Since then, both PM Modi and Amit Shah have assured the J&K State hood Restoration on various occasions without giving a timeline.
In December 2023, the Supreme Court directed, while maintaining the abolition of Article 370, the recovery of J&K is “as quickly as possible” and “as quickly as possible”. The government had insured the court, but another decision has to be made.
