The report on the purchase of land by outsiders in Jammu and Kashmir was submitted by Union Minister of State for Home Affairs, Nityanand Rai, to the Rajya Sabha (Upper House of Parliament) on 23 March 2023. The report stated that 185 outsiders had purchased land in the Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir over the past three years, raising concerns among the local population about potential demographic changes in the region.

The issue of land ownership in Jammu and Kashmir has been a contentious one, with many locals fearing that outsiders will displace them from their land. The recent report is likely to intensify this debate and spur further discussions on the issue.
