“Statehood would be given to Jammu and Kashmir at an appropriate time,” said Home Minister Amit Shah during the Lok Sabha session on February 13.<br />This comes after some Member of Parliament said that Reorganisation (Amendment) Bill, 2021 won't give statehood to Jammu and Kashmir.<br />Home Minister Amit Shah said, “Many MPs said that bringing Jammu and Kashmir Reorganisation (Amendment) Bill, 2021 means J&K won't get statehood. I am piloting the Bill, I brought it. I have clarified the intentions. Nowhere it’s written that J&K won't get statehood. Where are you drawing conclusion from. I have said in this House and I say it again that this Bill has got nothing to do with the statehood of Jammu & Kashmir. Statehood would be given to Jammu & Kashmir at an appropriate time.”
