J&K special status | Home Ministry pulls out original instrument of accession to support Article 370 move

The Hindu  

Officials in the Home Ministry fished out original copies of the “Instrument of the Accession” signed with 562 princely states during the time of Independence to make a legal basis for the amendment to Article 370 taking away the special status of Jammu & Kashmir. Home Minister Amit Shah has said in both the Houses of Parliament that Article 370 was “originally a temporary provision.” “We have been doing the groundwork for the past two weeks. On Tuesday night, the President of India declaration that “all clauses of Article 370 shall cease to be operative in the State of Jammu and Kashmir” was notified in the gazette of India. He signed the Instrument of Accession, some promises were made.Article 370 and a separate constitution were part of it.” Mr. Shah told the Lok Sabha on Tuesday that Article 370 provided the President the powers to amend or repeal the Article by issuing a notification, based on a recommendation of the Constituent Assembly of J&K and since it doesn’t exist any more, it would be read as the Legislative Assembly.
