Modi’s Kashmir meeting: Whither statehood?Kashmir, Kashmir -IOK 2021-07-08, by Editor Comments Off 0
The “right time” to restore statehood will likely be when India’s ruling BJP has irreversibly altered Kashmir.
The complete restoration of the statehood of Jammu and Kashmir (J&K) would come “at the appropriate time”, said Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi in response to the Kashmiri leaders’ plea for the restoration of Article 370 last week.
This came in a multi-party meeting summoned by PM Modi. Previously, Home Minister Amit Shah has also made similar remarks. It has become a habit of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) government to make such statements. However, nobody seems to know what time the BJP deems appropriate.
