<h1>Jammu and Kashmir CM Defends 'Union Territory' Use in Bills; Promises Statehood Restoration Despite Opposition Walkout</h1> Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister criticized opposition members for walking out over the use of 'Union Territory' in legislative bills, asserting that Jammu and Kashmir will remain a Union Territory until the Indian Parliament restores its statehood. The Jammu and Kashmir Assembly passed a bill amending the GST Act, despite objections from opposition members who argued that it endorsed the Union Territory status. The Chief Minister dismissed these claims as misinformation spread via social media and emphasized that terminology in the bills does not change the region's status. He reiterated the government's commitment to restoring statehood and criticized opposition actions as ineffective.
