Editorials News | Apr-02-2020
Article 370 is basically referred to as the temporary provisions with respect to the state of Jammu and Kashmir. Article 370 from the Indian constitution grants a lot of special status to Jammu and Kashmir. The article is being considered temporary in nature for the current scenario. Jammu and Kashmir have been facing various agreements between the two major rivals of the world India and Pakistan. Jammu and Kashmir chose to remain independent during the time of partition (14-15th august 1947). The agreement took place between both the countries that, neither of them will attack Jammu and Kashmir. While India respecting the agreement and exercising restraints, Pakistan could not control, leading to attacking Kashmir in a bid to annex it by force. Kashmir was attacked by the “Azad Kashmir Forces” supported by Pakistan on 6th October 1947.
Article 370 paved ways for Jammu and Kashmir to have a separate constitution, a state flag and gaining autonomy over the internal administration of the state. The Indian government revoked this special status in August 2019 through a presidential order and passing a resolution in the parliament. The article was drafted in the XXIst part of the constitution: Temporary, Transitional and Special Provisions. Under special status that was granted to the region by article 370 of the Indian constitution, Jammu and Kashmir were permitted to hoist its own state flag in addition to the national flag of India between 1952 and 2019. On 5 August 2019, the Administration of India gave an established request supplanting the 1954 request and making all the arrangements of the Indian constitution appropriate to Jammu and Kashmir dependent on the goals that went in the two places of India's parliament with 2/3 greater part.
