Statehood Can't Wait
Union Home Minister Amit Shah's recent three-day visit to Jammu and Kashmir culminated in a clear directive to security forces: sustain the gains made post-Article 370's abrogation and intensify the crackdown on terrorism. He called for inter-agency coordination, area domination, and a \"zero terror\" goal to consolidate the relative peace achieved in the region in recent years.. If anything, this shows that the security still remains top of the priority for the centre in Kashmir, and it doesn't want to take any decision that might be deemed to undermine this focus. Hence, perhaps the lingering delay in the restoration of statehood. But who knows, like the Assembly polls last year, the central government may pleasantly surprise the people of J&K on this score as well.
