# Jammu and Kashmir Assembly passes statehood resolution > Live situation record from CLSTR: https://clstr.news/situations/jammu-and-kashmir-assembly-political-conflict > Updated: 2026-09-28T14:13:38.000Z. Sources: 14. Developments: 3. The Jammu and Kashmir Legislative Assembly has passed a resolution calling for the urgent restoration of full statehood, urging the Government of India to return the territory to its former status. The motion, moved by Chief Minister Omar Abdullah, was defended as a “constitutional necessity.” Abdullah further argued that the Centre should provide a specific timeline for this transition and cautioned against linking statehood to the security situation, noting that such conditions would effectively place the decision in the hands of external actors. The passage of the resolution was marked by intense friction. The opposition Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) staged walkouts, protests, and mock proceedings, maintaining their stance that they will oppose any discussion involving the 2000 autonomy resolution or the pre-1953 constitutional position. In a significant procedural escalation, the BJP moved a notice seeking the removal of Speaker Abdul Rahim Rather, alleging that the rules of the House were violated during the resolution’s passage. Following the admission of the resolution, BJP MLA R. S. Pathania moved a no-confidence motion against the Speaker, demanding he step aside from his duties. Speaker Rather has maintained that the motion will be processed according to established rules, noting it will be formally listed and addressed 14 days after receiving notice. He declined to vacate the chair while the House remained in session for legislative business. ## Claims - The BJP opposes references to the pre-1953 constitutional position and the 2000 autonomy resolution in the statehood proposal.
