The Indian government today scrapped Article 370 that granted Jammu and Kashmir a special status and moved a bill aimed to bifurcate the state into two Union Territories
Article 370 has been stopping tourism and hospitality companies from opening their business in the state, thus keeping its population poor and in the mercy of a handful of politicians.
YSRCP, AIADMK, Shiv Sena, BSP, BJD and AAP have expressed their support to government’s decision on scrapping Article 370 and bifurcation of Jammu and Kashmir.
Congress leader Ghulam Nabi Azad said his party along with other 'secular' political parties will stand with the people of Jammu and Kashmir to protest against the historic decision of abrogation of Article 370 and bifurcation of state into two union territories.
