DC Edit | Centre must deliver on J&K statehood pledge

Deccan Chronicle  

Jammu and Kashmir chief minister Omar Abdullah elevated himself to the stature of a statesman when he refused to engage the Union government legally on the question of statehood and instead made it a moral question. He hopes that the Union territory status for J&K is a temporary phase and that the Union government will fulfil its promise of restoring its statehood, but it is for the Union government, Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union home minister Amit Shah to decide how to respond now. Unfortunately, the Supreme Court dodged the question when it was called upon to adjudicate on the law that bifurcated Jammu and Kashmir and divided it into two Union territories. He also believes that the reference to the restoration or statehood to J&K at the earliest in the Supreme Court order will have some bearing on the decision of the Union government.
