Article 370

In his petition, Advocate Sharma has said that he felt hurt by the statements of Abdullah and Mufti and alleged that their remarks could fan unrest and mutiny in the country.

Mehbooba Mufti, the PDP supremo and Farooq Abdullah, the NC patriarch have been on a rampage with their break-India comments recently.

The BJP manifesto for the 2019 elections has hit the right chord on Kashmir.

Mehbooba Mufti had earlier threatened that the country would witness worst times since 1947 if Articles 35A and 370 were annulled.

The abrogation of Article 370 will pave the way for ‘Azadi’ for the people of the state. says NC leader Farooq Abdullah

Mehbooba Mufti said that if Article 370 is scrapped, the relationship between India and Jammu and Kashmir will be over

Article 370, a ‘temporary’ provision distinguishes the state of Jammu and Kashmir from other states of the country by providing special autonomy in the functioning of the state. Most of the constitutional provisions which are applicable for other states are not applicable to Jammu and Kashmir.

So what is this Article 370 which allows J&K to function much against the national (or for that matter, it’s own) interests?

If India is a secular country, why not secular laws for the population?

The prolonged silence of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and BJP President Amit Shah on election results was very telling. The results were clearly unexpected and possibly led to prolonged internal discussions on the future course of action.
