Is statehood the way forward for Jammu and Kashmir? Panelists share views on News Today

Home Minister says statehood will be given without giving a timeline.

Professor Amitabh Batu and Shabnam Lone join us to discuss the abrogation of Article 370 .

Professor Batu says the battle is not for the people of Jammu and Kashmir to feel special.

Lone says the real issue is how do you give statehood and an empowered assembly.

Kashmir must decide and will speak through the ballot this time.

Kashmir should come, come out and they must vote. Kashmir still remains a dormant political volcano. But in general, Amitabh Mattu , do you believe a Nyaya Kashmir is emerging or do you agree with Shabnam LON who says the state is a political volcano?.

Kashmiri Pundits have not been able to return with peace and dignity, says Shabnam Lone .

Rajdeep: Culture invasion of Kashmir has been one of the main reasons what happened here, our cultural ethos, our plurality and the way we lived here, a peaceful life has to come back.

Rajeev: Eventually Nya Kashmir will have to be built not simply by having us, by getting us, but by maybe rebuilding the whole notion of Kashmirian .
