Jammu and Kashmir

After snapping bilateral trade and downgrading diplomatic ties with India, Pakistan has today announced that it will permanently discontinue Samjhauta Express train services.

The people of Jammu and Kashmir has perceived it as a golden opportunity to progress themselves and society, and are welcoming the Narendra Modi government’s decision.

The lightning speed with which the Presidential Orders of August 5, 2019, and August 6, 2019, concerning Article 370 have been promulgated thanks has put an end to the 70-year old stalemate created by and surrounding Article 370 of the Indian Constitution

Congress is facing a divide within in its own ranks as there are two distinct factions over the issue of Jammu and Kashmir.

Congress leader Karan Singh joins long list of prominent Congress leaders who have come out in support of Modi government's decision to dilute Article 370 making Jammu and Kashmir a part of India without any riders attached.

Among the “retaliatory measures” announced by Pakistan yesterday, and I kid you not, is a threat to observe Aug 15 as a Black Day.

The fact that Jammu and Kashmir is now a part of India without any riders and conditions has taken the ones who never wanted to bring a solution to the Kashmir issue by surprise.

Liam Byrne said that the decision of the Indian government to abolish Article 370 was 'unacceptable'.

Senior Congress leader Ghulam Nabi Azad when asked about the recent trip of NSA Ajit Doval to Shopian, Kashmir, he said, "You (Ajit Doval) can take anyone with you by paying money and take them."

The Modi government took a bold step recently to abrogate Article 370 and integrate Jammu and Kashmir wholly and without any conditions with the rest of India.
