Amidst all these, the controversial statements by the newly appointed ministers have launched a series of confrontations between veteran leaders. Not only this, but the issue of article 370 has questioned the governments motives and timing of controversy.

Article 370 starts with stating that it is a temporary provision which is introduced to preserve the idea of integrating J&K like other states of the union but this could happen only when the people of the state accept it. It was introduced because in 1940's Kashmir, unlike other princely states was in a condition of abnormality as tribes from Pakistan raided and captured a part of it.
