Home Minister Amit Shah has announced in Rajya Sabha that the government has decided to repeal Article 370 of the Constitution which grants special status to J&K. “Jammu and Kashmir will be a union territory with legislature and Ladakh will be union territory without a legislature”, announced the Home Minister.
The parliament was divided on its opinion about the bill. Many parties have openly taken a stand in favour of the decision while Congress leader and leader of opposition Ghulam Nabi Azad opposed the move. He said that BJP has murdered the Constitution with their decision to remove Article 370.
“Many have sacrificed their lives for Kashmir…Many parties have lost their leaders in Kashmir. Civilians have also lost their lives to keep Kashmir with India…people of India have stood by Kashmir. What has happened today is not normal. We stand by the constitution of India…we are willing to give up our lives for the constitution…but we condemn any act against the constitution…today BJP has murdered the constitution,” said Ghulam Nabi Azad( as quoted by News18)
