It was then passed by the Lok Sabha on 6 August 2019 and it received the President's assent on 9 August 2019.[5]The introduction of the bill was preceded by a presidential order under Article 370 of the Indian constitution that revoked Jammu and Kashmir's special status. The Home Minister had implied that all the measures including the shutdown of communication services and the downgrade to the status of Union Territory, were temporary measures and will soon be lifted.
