Answers
Answer:
NEW DELHI: In a move that will have massive repercussions for Kashmir, the Centre has decided to repeal Article 370 and Article 35-A of the Constitution that grants special status to the state. Announcing the move, home minister Amit Shah also decided to bifurcate the state into two Union territories – Jammu and Kashmir, which will have a legislature, and Ladakh, which will be without a legislature
Shah moved the amendment amid uproar by opposition members.
He said the UT in Ladakh will have no legislature like Chandigarh while the other UT of Jammu and Kashmir will have a legislature like Delhi and Puducherry.

Making a historic announcement in the Rajya Sabha that triggered bedlam, Shah said: "I am presenting the resolution to revoke Article 370 in Jammu and Kashmir except the first clause 370
Our government is committed to weeding out terrorism from its roots and I am sure that we will be able to do it with the help of people. People are saying that this fight should be beyond ideologies but our ideology itself is committed to the motherland, we do not need to rise above it. The ideology of my party tells me that my topmost priority should be the safety and security of my country. After Narendra Modi became the Prime Minister and Rajnath Singh became the Home Minister in 2014, the government has given topmost priority to Jammu and Kashmir and peace in the state and fight terrorism in the state. The zero tolerance policy is not in the political rallies or parliament only but we have taken concrete steps to make sure change is seen on the ground as well.
CRPF men work all over the country, maintain law and order situation, work in naxal areas and other areas but in Jammu and Kashmir there is a different situation, the terrorism there is Pakistan-sponsored, therefore there was a special kind of demand for men who are posted there. There demand included high security vehicle, modern guns, commando training centers and other things. I am pleased to tell the Parliament that we have spent Rs 7 crore and agreed to all their requirements. The CRPF DG has told me that this is the first time in the history after independence that all their requirements have been met by the government.
There was an issue of coordination because a number of agencies work from the state including — Army, IB, R&AW, CRPF, Jammu and Kashmir police and other agencies. Multi-disciplinary monitoring group has been formed in the state, so that all the agencies can work in coordination and work in tandem. Presidential rule came to the state and people were talking about killing the democracy, but I want to tell the Parliament that out of 132 times that the President rule was implemented, Congress government went for President rule 93 times and they will tell us what to do? There is a reason that we went for President rule. Congress used it for their own political gains.
Why did the Congress never put a ban on Jamaat-e-Islami, who did they want to please? it was the Narendra Modi government that finally put a ban on it. Who was JKLF trying to liberate all these years? J&K is an integral part of India, this is what we believe in. We put a ban on it. The kind of action in form of preventive arrest that we have taken against separatist groups has never happened under any other government
