On September 25 in Srinagar, Chief Minister Omar Abdullah presented a resolution calling for the immediate and urgent restoration of full statehood to Jammu and Kashmir. The CM referenced prior resolutions from June 26, 2000, and November 6, 2024, while criticizing the government's failure to honor promises. He cited the SKIMS healthcare institute as an example where released funds remain unclear in usage, illustrating systemic limitations without statehood.
BJP legislators responded with strong opposition, led by BJP leader DevyaniRana who raised slogans such as 'Statehood toubahanahai, public kawadakabnibhanahai' and demanding restoration of statehood and Article 370. The Speaker adjourned the House for half an hour amid the chaos, and several BJP MLAs were ejected from the chamber, including R S Pathania and Vikram Randhawa who attempted to disrupt proceedings.

The intense floor debate reflected deepening political divisions over federalism in India's largest state. The CM emphasized that the 'ModiKa Wada' promise remained unfulfilled, arguing that without statehood, essential services and institutional accountability suffer. The House ultimately adjourned until Monday, allowing time for further deliberation.
