Article 370

Good morning to everyone present here, today

I will be speaking on the topic of Article 370.
Article 370 along with Article 35A which
provided special status to the northern state of
Jammu and Kashmir, was revoked by the
Indian Government on August 5th 2019. This
major step was taken suddenly and came as a
shock to the entire country.
• The two states of J&K and Ladakh were recognized as
Union Territories from thereon along with the special status
of Kashmir overtaken.
• This sudden change was not taken well by the people of
J&K along with the rest of a large population as it posed a
threat to human rights. Several mass protests were
arranged in the country against the abrogation, and the
state almost suffered a lockdown for more than a year now.
• The status of Jammu and Kashmir has been reduced to
that of any other union territories of India, where all the
rules of the Central Government were now applicable

THANK-YOU
