Scrapping Article 370 - We have been looted

[FearlessRoar]

The removal of Article 370 in Kashmir by the BJP government was wrong. It goes against human rights and international laws. People suffered because of this decision, and it caused a lot of problems in the region. The move is widely criticized and condemned for its negative impact on the rights and well-being of the people in Kashmir.

No matter whatever decision they may pass. The only thing that matters is the will and opinion of Kashmiris. And they want freedom. IA one day they are going to get it.

As usual you are wrong. After abrogation of Article 370 peace and normalcy have returned to J&K. Growth and development have brought new meaning to human life in the valley once torn by violence. Prosperity in the tourism and agriculture sectors has raised the income levels of the residents of both Jammu, Kashmir and Ladakh. Sonner Pakistan forget about kashmir is better for them .

If the Kashmiris were all ok with the BJP then why was a curfew imposed immediately after the suspension of Article 370?

Additionally why did India not allow any international media coverage in that region?

There are still many questions remain unanswered by India.

Read the Indian Independence Act of 1947 of the British parliament.

Read how the princely states can acede to any side or remain independent.

Then read the instrument of accession signed by Maharaja Hari Singh.

Questions unanswered? I feel like Pakistanis either live in their own idealistic world or just want India to give answers, last two years from Ukraine to Palestine have shown the world that might is everything.

Sorry but if Ind is illegally occupying then Pak is illegally occupying Azad kashmire and Gilgit Baltistan. Pak never ever removed their troops. OTOH AK & GB have to abide and affirm to Pak and have no individual independence. Naila Inayat is a popular youtuber from pak and her Naila Pakistani reaction gives you the real ground level reality on Kashmir .

Nothing unanswered as of today. J&K is like any other state in Ind now . J&K had very special privileges under Art 370 which they misused for the past 70 years but surprisingly never ever denied Ind funds. They had their own Prime minister , flag , constitution which the politicians Abdullah family and Mufti family misused. Pak radicalised an entire generation of civilians in the valley and also in Pak. Started with the Gen Zia ul Haq era and now with the lack of education in the Pak youth - they will channel their energy in the wrong places. Pak wasted billions of rupees on Kashmir ignoring the 300 million Pak people needs. And it's all driven by the establishment. Food for thought - No single Pak PM has ever even once completed a full 5 year term . Not being confrontational just being realistic

Prosperity is most important for a human civilisation to flourish. All this non-sense of illegal occupation will vanish when prosperity reaches every household and empowers unemployed and misdirected youth of J&k.

That's what I hope for. Then again, I also know the anti India sentiments in the Kashmir Valley isn't going to go away in a matter of years. Hopefully I hope in another 30 years, we can bring tremendous development there and finally the people there accept us as their own.

A lot of anti India sentiment has already died down. The valley is improving with better infrastructure l, tourism etc give it another 10 years there will be practically no kashmiri singing the Pakistani anti India tune.

I don't know how much of it is true, but one thing for sure is a lot of people there have realised that violence won't take them anywhere. It will take time, but God willing they will identify themselves as Indians one day. I just hope that day comes in a couple of decades.

My hard core pseudo secular communist relatives from Kerala visited Kashmir recently. They never waste an opportunity to bad mouth PM Modi and BJP, even they came back and gave me feedback that so much had changed in Kashmir and they thoroughly enjoyed their holiday there.


I can confidently say the wheel is turning in Kashmir ever since Modichayan came to power and in most likely 10 years from now there would not be any jihadis or stone peters left...

Pakistan has now lost Kashmir for good, maybe this is good for them too as they can now focus on rebuilding their country and economy rather than sinking their heads in a sand hole which they have been doing since the creation of Pakistan.

OIC slams Indian SC verdict endorsing decision to scrap IIOJK special status

In the wake of the Indian Supreme Court verdict upholding its government's decision to revoke the special status of the Illegally Indian Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK), the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) reiterated its call for reversing all illegal measures taken by the Indian government since August 5, 2019, aimed at changing the internationally-recognized ‘disputed status’ of the valley.

The OIC, in a statement by the General Secretariat, said this in reference to the decisions and resolutions of the Islamic Summit and the OIC Council of Foreign Ministers on the issue of the territory.

The General Secretariat expressed concern over the verdict of India’s Supreme Court on December 11, 2023, upholding the actions taken by the Indian government on August 5, 2019, that stripped the IIOJ&K of its special status.

Taking to X, formerly Twitter, the OIC posted: "OIC General Secretariat expresses concern over the Indian Supreme Court’s Judgment Upholding the Unilateral Actions Taken by the Indian Government on 5th August 2019 that Stripped the Special Status of the Territory of Jammu and Kashmir. "

India rejects OIC remark on Article 370 verdict: 'Ill-informed and ill-intended'​

India rejected the statement issued by the General Secretariat of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) on the Indian Supreme Court's judgement upholding the 2019 revocation of Article 370 of the Constitution.

"It is both ill-informed and ill-intended," Ministry of External Affairs spokesperson Arindam Bagchi said on Wednesday while referring to the OIC's statement.

"That OIC does so at the behest of a serial violator of human rights and an unrepentant promoter of cross-border terrorism makes its action even more questionable. Such statements only undermine OIC’s credibility," he added.

The OIC General Secretariat expressed concern over the Supreme Court's verdict related to Article 370 on Tuesday. The Supreme Court had on Monday upheld the Centre's August 5, 2019 decision to abrogate Article 370.

Following the verdict, the General Secretariat reaffirmed its solidarity with the people of Jammu and Kashmir.

It said in a statement on Tuesday, "The General Secretariat, about the decisions and resolutions of the Islamic Summit and the OIC Council of Foreign Ministers related to the issue of Jammu and Kashmir, reiterates its call to reverse all illegal and unilateral measures taken since 5 August 2019 aimed at changing the internationally-recognized disputed status of the territory."

"The General Secretariat reaffirms its solidarity with the people of Jammu and Kashmir in their quest for the right of self-determination and reiterates its call on the international community to enhance its efforts to resolve the issue of Jammu and Kashmir in accordance with the relevant United Nations Security Council resolutions," the OIC's statement added.​

Article 370: What Supreme Court said

The Supreme Court said on Monday that Article 370 of the Constitution was only temporary. The decision by Supreme Court implies that Article 370 cannot be restored in Jammu and Kashmir.

A five-judge Constitution bench comprising Chief Justice of India DY Chandrachud, Justices Sanjay Kishan Kaul, Sanjiv Khanna, BR Gavai, and Surya Kant said, “It can be garnered from the historical context for the inclusion of Article 370 and the placement of Article 370 in Part XXI of the Constitution that it is a temporary provision."

The court said Article 370 was enacted due to wartime conditions in the State and was meant to serve a transitional purpose. It also held that the State of Jammu and Kashmir did not retain an element of sovereignty when it joined the Union of India.

The bench added, “In view of the statement we do not find it necessary to determine whether the reorganisation of the State of Jammu and Kashmir into two Union Territories of Ladakh and Jammu and Kashmir is permissible under Article 3. However. we uphold the validity of the decision to carve out the Union Territory of Ladakh in view of Article 3(a) read with Explanation I which permits forming a Union Territory by separation of a territory from any State."

Restoration of Statehood shall take place at the earliest and as soon as possible, it added. The Constitution bench was hearing a batch of petitions challenging the abrogation of Article 370 of the constitution and bifurcating the state into two Union Territories.​

Discussion held in UK parliament over IIOJK

British lawmakers, activists, practitioners, and peace activists held discussions on Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK) in the UK Parliament.

The discussions were held to mark International Human Rights Day and the Indian Supreme Court’s decision to uphold Modi’s BJP government’s revocation of Article 370. The event reminded the international community of its responsibility to press for a free and fair plebiscite in Kashmir.

Tehreek-e-Kashmir UK’s conference was chaired by Paul Bristow MP and hosted by Fahim Kayani, the president of the UK-based diaspora group.

I wish the Supreme Court of India had the courage to visit UN resolutions on Kashmir,” Kayani told the conference. “No assembly has any power to decide on behalf of the people of Jammu and Kashmir. So, neither the Indian parliament nor the president of India have any sovereignty over Kashmir,” he added.

Kate Hollern talked about the importance of human rights and the need to push the UK government to uphold those rights in IIOJK, particularly after India’s Supreme Court ratified the abrogation of Article 370 by Modi’s government.

Tahir Ali dismissed the Indian Supreme Court's ruling and said the banana court had no right to change the disputed nature of occupied Kashmir.

Jess Phillips lamented India’s continued illegal occupation and said the Supreme Court’s ruling was an extension of India’s continued disregard of international law.

FM Jilani writes to UN, OIC and EU on ‘illegality’ of Indian SC verdict for held Kashmir

Indian parliament to impose laws in the state, apart from matters of defence, foreign affairs and communications.

“The foreign minister has condemned the unlawful measures of the Indian authorities to consolidate their occupation of IIOJK (Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir) and persistent suppression of the rights of the people of Jammu and Kashmir. India’s illegal and unilateral actions of August 5 2019, and a series of subsequent steps, are aimed at altering the demographic structure and political landscape of IIOJK. The clear goal of these unlawful steps is to convert Kashmiris into a disempowered community in their own land.

“FM Jilani has termed the recent judgement of the Supreme Court of India, a breach of international law and relevant UN Security Council resolutions, especially Resolution 122 (1957). This endorsement of India’s unlawful measures cannot override the provisions and prescriptions of the UN Security Council as contained in its resolutions on Jammu and Kashmir,” the FO said.

The move allowed people from the rest of the country to have the right to acquire property in held Kashmir and settle there permanently.

It added that FM Jilani called on the UNSC to ensure full implementation of its resolutions on the Jammu and Kashmir dispute and to urge India to end the “grave and systematic human rights violations in IIOJK and to reverse all its illegal and unilateral actions in IIOJK undertaken since August 5, 2019”.

Well that tells you how much Jess Phillips knows.

Article 370 was an Indian clause, it has nothing to do with international law.

Ahh well Jess Phillips can now move on with her life lol..

Only thing left to do is, UK needs to send its aircraft carriers and submarine fleet to the bay of Bengal and scare the Indians to put back article 370..

Lament is all they can do. The best they can do is raise a twitter storm. If they could only walk the talk..

I was hosting a party in a farm house in Delhi, and someone told me about 370 being scrapped. I was concerned about my guests that maybe Pakistan will send fighter jets just to make a statement. But I was so wrong. Kashmir is jugular vein only on twitter. For all intents and purposes Pakistan has given up on its Kashmir dream. I think both nations are secretly ok with the status quo now.

Five Indian soldiers were killed in gunbattles with rebels fighting against New Delhi’s rule in disputed Kashmir, officials said Thursday. The Indian army said two suspected militants were also killed.

The fighting started Wednesday, days after Indian troops started searching for militants in dense forests based on information that at least two rebels were hiding there, a military official said, speaking on condition of anonymity in keeping with official policy.

Intermittent firing continued at regular intervals all day Wednesday, the official said, killing four soldiers and injured at least two other soldiers.

"If Article 370 Was So Bad...": Farooq Abdullah Slams PM Modi's Remarks

Farooq Abdullah, former Chief Minister of Jammu and Kashmir, took strong exception to Prime Minister Narendra Modi's remarks today on Article 370 of the constitution and that it had only helped propagate dynastic rule in the erstwhile state. "If Article 370 was this bad, how did Jammu and Kashmir ever make progress," he questioned.

PM Modi, in his first visit to Srinagar today since the scrapping of Article 370, had called it a "new Jammu and Kashmir" that was the result of the scrapping of the erstwhile state's special status.

"For decades, for political gains, Congress and its allies misled people in the name of Article 370. But today there are equal rights and opportunities for all. The people know the truth... they were misled... This is the new Jammu and Kashmir for which we all were waiting,' he had said.

Shortly after, Farooq Abdullah -- a three-time Chief Minister of the erstwhile state -- hit back.

"If Article 370 was this bad -- I would like the Prime Minister to re-hear the speech made in the Rajya Sabha by then Leader of Opposition Ghulam Nabi Azad, in which he compared two states. He compared Gujarat and Jammu and Kashmir in terms of progress when Article 370 was there," Farooq Abdullah said.

"Now, if Article 370 and nepotism are responsible, then how did we make that progress? It is the people's rule, I lost the election as a chief minister. So, where is the dynastic rule?" Mr Abdullah said. "This dynastic rule is a kind of common voice I heard also in parliament. In every speech that PM makes, he makes a particular target on it".

The former Chief Minister also pointed out that the scrapping of Article 370 has made education expensive.

Education from the level of primary schools to universities was free, he said. "Today, education is only free up to the 14th class. In the universities, you have to pay now. An honest commission has to be put to see what was there before the revoke of Article 370 and what was is thereafter," Mr Abdullah said.

"Why Waste Time On J&K Statehood That PM Is Committed To": Omar Abdullah

National Conference leader Omar Abdullah on Sunday said restoration of statehood to Jammu and Kashmir is not an issue for his party in the Lok Sabha polls, asserting that it will get the statehood anyway in view of commitment by the prime minister and the Union home minister.

Mr Abdullah also said the results of the Lok Sabha polls will have an impact on the upcoming assembly elections in the Union territory.

"Statehood is not an issue for us. Our battle is not for statehood, we will get the statehood anyway. Why should we waste people's time on an issue that the PM and the home minister are committed to?" Mr Abdullah told reporters in Kupwara district where he was campaigning.

The former chief minister is contesting the Lok Sabha elections from Baramulla which will vote on May 20.

"If this government somehow comes back to power, which seems increasingly impossible now, they are committed to restore statehood to Jammu and Kashmir. If the government changes, which we are hoping for, our effort will be that we get full statehood before the assembly elections take place," he added.

Speaking in the Rajya Sabha in December last year, Home Minister Amit Shah had assured the country that full statehood would be restored to Jammu and Kashmir at an appropriate time.

Asked about Prime Minister Narendra Modi's statement on transformation of Jammu and Kashmir after abrogation of Article 370, Mr Abdullah said the BJP should have fielded their own candidates in Kashmir if that were the case.

"If there has been so much (positive) change in J-K, why have they not fielded a party candidate in Kashmir? What is the need for contesting the elections through proxy candidates? They should have fielded their own candidates. Maybe, we would have lost our security deposit. Who would have voted for us when BJP candidates had been there!" he added.

In response to a question, the NC leader said the results of the Lok Sabha elections will have an impact on assembly polls in Jammu and Kashmir which are to be held before September 2024 in view of the directions of the Supreme Court.

"There will be an impact on assembly elections because there are not even two months left. This election will finish in June and we are hopeful that in August-September there will be assembly elections," he said.

The NC leader said the party campaign in the ongoing polls is not focusing on development but the political issue with the Centre.

"We will talk about development but this election is not about development. When we know that within two months assembly elections will happen, the NC manifesto and its candidates will be more focused on development. In this election, we are more focused on the political issue with the Centre," he added.

On jailed politician Abdul Rashid Sheikh alias Engineer Rashid, Mr Abdullah questioned the justification for keeping the former MLA in jail for so long when the charges have not been framed against him.

"I don't know if his bail application is pending...if it is not, he should apply for bail. As far as I know, charges have not been framed against him. He has been in jail for a long time now.

"If you have not been able to frame charges against him for so long, then there is no justification to keep him in jail. Everyone knows who is behind Engineer Rashid's arrest. If the government (at the Centre) changes in June and our government is formed (here) in September, this process of arrests will be ended," he said.

On speculation that PDP has supported the candidature of Rashid in the Baramulla constituency, Mr Abdullah said the rival party has refuted these claims.

2 Lashkar commanders trapped during gunfight with troops in Jammu and Kashmir​

Two top commanders from The Resistance Front, an offshoot of Pakistan-based Lashkar-e-Taiba, were trapped in a home they used as a hideout during a gunfight with security forces in Jammu and Kashmir's Pulwama district on Monday.

The gunbattle began after security forces received inputs about a terror hideout in the Nehama area in Pulwama. When the security forces and the police launched a cordon and search operation, the terrorists fired upon them, triggering the gunfight.

Rayees Ahmad and Reyaz Ahmad Dar, are both residents of the Pulwama district in south Kashmir. Visuals showed the house where the terrorists were hiding on fire and smoke billowing into the sky.

How??? They were a country within a country with a separate flag constitution etc and unlimited cash injection from ind. No outsider could buy property in kashmir but a Kashmiri could buy property anywhere in india. Inspite of that they supportered paknmilitants and resorted to pnadit exodus at gunpoint and orchestrate attacks against Ind army. The Abdullahs and muftis pocketed all teh money and played a double game with ind and pak establishment and hoodwinked people. If anything the Kashmiri people should kick these 2 parties out. Kashmir was a drain on ind resources and still negative backlash from them -- so out went article 370 which was so froendly and biased to kashmiris which they absolutely misued

I agree, Article 370 was a bad idea to begin with. It was bad for Kashmir and the rest of India. I am glad it is scrapped and we have same rights across the country.
