What is Article 370 and why is it politically significant?

Live Mint  

The Union government on Monday moved a resolution in the Rajya Sabha to revoke Article 370 amid uproarious protests from opposition benches. Article 370 of the Constitution is a ‘temporary provision’ which promises to grant autonomous status to Jammu and Kashmir and limits Parliament’s powers to make laws for the state. Under Part XXI of the Constitution titled “Temporary, transitional and special provisions”, Article 370 is categorised as a “temporary provision with respect to the State of Jammu and Kashmir”. In effect, Article 370 says that Parliament will need the state government’s concurrence for applying any law, except those that fall in the domains of defence, foreign affairs, finance and communications. Watch: Article 370 revoked | How Modi, Shah and Doval orchestrated move In the run-up to the 2019 national elections, the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party had reiterated its commitment to the abrogation of Article 370.
