Report writing on " Article 370 "  ( Jammu and Kashmir Reorganisation Bill ) , 2019 .

Explanation:

The clause 7 of the Instrument of Accession signed by Maharaja Hari Singh  declared that the State could not be compelled to accept any future Constitution of India . Article 370 , along with Article 35A defined that the Jammu and Kashmir state's residents live under a separate set of laws, including those related to citizenship, ownership of property, and fundamental rights, as compared to resident of other Indian states. As a result of this provision, Indian citizens from other states could not purchase land or property in Jammu & Kashmir. But on 5th  August 2019, the Home Minister Amit Shah introduced the Jammu and Kashmir Reorganisation Bill, 2019 in the Rajya Sabha to convert Jammu and Kashmir's status of a state to two separate union territories, namely Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir and Union Territory of Ladakh. The union territory of Jammu and Kashmir is proposed to have a legislature under the bill whereas the union territory of Ladakh is proposed to not have one. By the end of the day, the bill was passed by Rajya Sabha with 125 votes in its favour and 61 against (67%). The next day, the bill was passed by the Lok Sabha with 370 votes in its favour and 70 against it (84%). The bill became an Act after it was signed by the president. The President issued a further order on 6 th August declaring all the clauses of Article 370 except clause 1 to be inoperative. The two union territories came into existence on 31 October 2019, which is birthday of Sardar Patel, who unified all the princely states except Jammu and Kashmir in Independent India.
