Who issued the proclamation regarding establishment of a Constituent Assembly of Jammu and Kashmir?

Ghulam Mohammad Sadiq
Maulana Masoodi
Yuvraj Karan Singh
Sheikh Abdullah

The correct answer is: D. Sheikh Abdullah.

Sheikh Abdullah was the Prime Minister of Jammu and Kashmir from 1948 to 1953 and again from 1975 to 1982. He was a prominent leader of the National Conference party and a key figure in the state’s accession to India.

In 1951, Abdullah issued a proclamation regarding the establishment of a Constituent Assembly of Jammu and Kashmir. The Constituent Assembly was tasked with drafting a constitution for the state. The Assembly was elected in 1951 and completed its work in 1957. The Constitution of Jammu and Kashmir was adopted on 26 November 1957.

The other options are incorrect because:

  • Ghulam Mohammad Sadiq was the Prime Minister of Jammu and Kashmir from 1972 to 1975.
  • Maulana Masoodi was a Kashmiri politician and religious leader. He was a member of the Constituent Assembly of Jammu and Kashmir.
  • Yuvraj Karan Singh was the son of Maharaja Hari Singh, the last ruler of Jammu and Kashmir. He was the Regent of Jammu and Kashmir from 1952 to 1956.
