Buzz around Jammu and Kashmir’s statehood return grew after PM Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah met President Murmu just before the Article 370 anniversary. Both meetings were held on the same day but without public details, sparking social media speculation. Shah also met J&K leaders recently, and a key NDA meeting is planned. J&K lost statehood in 2019 and became a Union Territory. The Supreme Court had asked for early restoration. Rumours suggest a new law may be coming. Some fear J&K and Kashmir could be split. Many, including Omar Abdullah, are demanding full statehood and fresh elections soon. (PC: India Today)
