4 Years Of Article 370 Abrogation: Mehbooba Mufti Put To House Arrest, Amarnath Yatra Suspended For a Day

As Article 370 Abrogation completes 4 years, a few key steps have been taken by the centre government for security reasons. Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Chief and Former Chief Minister of Jammu and Kashmir – Mehbooba Mufti have been put to house arrest. In addition to this Amarnath yatra has been suspended for a day.

Mehboob Mufti posts, “I’ve been put under house arrest…”

The former Chief Minister wrote, “I’ve been put under house arrest along with other senior PDP leaders today. This comes after a midnight crackdown where scores of my party men are illegally detained in police stations. GOIs false claims about normalcy to the SC stands exposed by theirs actions driven by paranoia.”

Along with them, PDP General Secretary Ghulam Nabi Lone Hanjura was also placed under house arrest. In a tweet, he wrote, “Placed under house arrest & my family also not being allowed to move out. As countless PDP workers have been rounded up by the police, it’s ironic how they themselves puncture their “normalcy” ballon. 5 Aug is a black day, a day when our constitutional rights were snatched!”

The historical date – 5 August

5th of August is the day, when in 2019 – article 370 was abrogated. The day marked the division of the former state divided into two Union territories – the Jammu and Kashmir (which has a legislature) and Ladakh.

The centre government’s decision of abrogation of Article 370 striped Jammu and Kashmir of its special status. Just a day or two back, hearing of the decision was conducted in the Supreme Court.
