No Article 370 For Jammu & Kashmir Historic Move From Modi Gov

As tensions mounted in Jammu and Kashmir, Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Monday moved a resolution in the Rajya Sabha that all clauses of Article 370 will not be applicable to Jammu and Kashmir.

Amit Shah announced in the Rajya Sabha that Article 370, which accords special status to Jammu & Kashmir, will be revoked from the day of the President's assent.

After Amit Shah proposed that the regulation under Article 370 will not be applicable after Presidential nod, the Rajya Sabha witnessed massive uproar with the Opposition slamming the Centre over the move.

Before the introduction of the bill, the Kashmir issue rocked the Rajya Sabha as Congress leader Ghulam Nabi Azad raised the current situation in Kashmir.

Entire Kashmir is under curfew. It's a war-like situation. Three CMs are under house arrest. That should be discussed first, Ghulam Nabi Azad said in the Rajya Sabha.

What is Article 370?

Article 370 has been the bone of contention between the state's politicians and the BJP. The controversial article deals with special powers conferred upon the state of Jammu & Kashmir.

It allows the state constituent Assembly to make its own Constitution, thereby giving it an autonomous state power.

Apart from the autonomy, Article 370 also lends other powers such as the need of concurrence of the state government if the central government plans to make amendments to the concurrent list of subjects.
