Supreme Court Validates Article 370 Repeal, Calls for Restoration of Jammu and Kashmir Statehood

Supreme Court announced the verdict on the  Final Judgment Today about Article 370. Today Supreme Court said, that Jammu and Kashmir is a very important part of India. Article 370 was adopted as an internal measure just for the war situation in Jammu and Kashmir. Chief Justice DY Chandrachud clarified that Article 370 was a temporary measure, not any permanent process.

The decision has been made to repeal Article 370!

On this day, the Supreme Court announced that Jammu and Kashmir should be given statehood back. A five-judge constitution bench including Chief Justice of India DY Chandrachud, Justices Sanjay Kishan Kaul, Sanjiv Khanna, BR Gavai, and Surya Kant passed the judgment. Article 370 was put on August 5, 2019, and that was a temporary arrangement because of the war conditions in the erstwhile state, Justice Chandrachud said.

The Supreme Court confirmed the government’s decision to discontinue Article 370. The court said that steps should be taken soon to conduct elections in the assembly by September 30, 2024.  SC also said to think about Ladakh as a Union Territory.

“The Supreme Court verdict on Article 370 is disappointing. Justice yet again eludes the people of J and K. Article 370 may have been legally obliterated but will always remain a part of our political aspirations.”, Peoples Conference leader Sajad Lone said.

‘Democracy and not autocracy is the demand’: Congress said!

“..Elections have not been held in Jammu and Kashmir after 2014. Democracy and not autocracy is the demand of every citizen of J&K. J&K has been run by a selected government for almost over half a decade and not by an elected government. Why is BJP afraid of an elected government?…” Congress leader and senior advocate Abhishek Manu Singhvi said.

Union Minister Anurag Thakur said, “This is yet another victory and moment of celebration for all the nationalist people of the country who dreamt of complete integration of the Jammu and Kashmir with Bharat for which they fought political and legal battles and even sacrificed their lives.”
