The upcoming Jammu and Kashmir Legislative Assembly Budget Session promises to be politically charged with multiple perspectives.

The session will likely feature debates around statehood restoration, a key demand from regional parties like Congress and National Conference. The political landscape continues to be shaped by the aftermath of Article 370's revocation in 2019.

Speaking to ANI, Parihar emphasised that they will play the role of a constructive opposition.

The Jammu and Kashmir's Budget Session is set to begin today.

On Sunday, Congress leader Ghulam Ahmed Mir reiterated the demand for restoring statehood to Jammu and Kashmir, stressing that the region's 1.4 crore people wish it.

Mir emphasised that Jammu and Kashmir's current status as a Union Territory is a major obstacle to effectively serving the people. According to Mir, the restoration of statehood is not a partisan issue but rather a people's demand. He clarified that this demand has nothing to do with the BJP or any other party but is instead a reflection of the aspirations of the people of Jammu and Kashmir.

Mir's statement comes ahead of the Budget Session, where the Congress party, in alliance with the National Conference (NC), is expected to raise this issue. The Congress leader's assertion highlights the significance of statehood restoration in the region's politics and the lives of its people.

After the parties' meeting ahead of the Budget Session, National Conference chief whip Mubarak Gul told ANI, "... Discussions were held to run the upcoming session smoothly... and the issues of the people are raised... Everyone wants statehood to be restored. Every child of Jammu and Kashmir wants that..."

Notably, the restoration of Article 370, the reinstatement of Jammu and Kashmir's statehood, and the implementation of the autonomy resolution were key promises in the National Conference's manifesto for the Jammu and Kashmir elections.

In August 2019, the Central government led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi repealed Article 370 of the Indian Constitution, effectively ending the special status given to Jammu and Kashmir.
