J&K Reorganisation Bill was passed after intense debate in the Lok Sabha on Monday. A total of 351 lawmakers voted in favour of the motion, whereas 72 MPs opposed the proposal. Now, the state of Jammu and Kashmir will be bifurcated into two union territories - Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh. The former will have a legislature, whereas the latter will not. This will also revoke Artcile 370 which grants special status to Jammu and Kashmir.

Responding to the debate in Lok Sabha, Home Minister Amit Shah said that revoking Article 370 is necessary as it undermines the parliament of India. "The law of the nation does not reach Jammu and Kashmir. Pakistan uses this to instigate separatism in the hearts of people there," says Amit Shah.

Earlier today, the opposition erupted in protested when Home Minister Amit Shah moved the resolution to revoke Article 370 from the Indian Constitution in Lok Sabha. Congress Member of Parliament Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury said BJP had violated all rules to convert a state into a union territory overnight, and that Kashmir was not an internal issue of India. Amit Shah replied to him, saying no one could stop the government from formulating new laws and provisions in Jammu and Kashmir. He also asked the Congress party to clarify its official position on the matter. "Jammu & Kashmir is an integral part of Union of India. Kashmir ki seema mein PoK bhi aata hai...Jaan de denge iske liye! (PoK also comes in when we talk about Kashmir, we will give life for it)," the Home Minister said.
