Article 370 Abrogation

Jammu and Kashmir’s LG Manoj Sinha emphasized the importance of acknowledging the current status of the region as a Union Territory.

On Monday, authorities halted the Amarnath Yatra for one day as a precaution due to the fifth anniversary of Article 370's abrogation.

Political showdown ignited as it marks the 5 anniversary of abrogation of Article 370 from Kashmir turning the state into an union territory. 

The Jammu and Kashmir Reorganization (Amendment) Bill, 2023 and the Jammu and Kashmir Reservation (Amendment) Bill, 2023 were introduced by Amit Shah in the Rajya Sabha for discussion and approval.

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."

Sibal stated that the Maharaja of Kashmir did not sign a revised instrument of accession like other states giving full control over its affairs to the Union government.
