Article 370 is permanent and defines relation between India and J & K that was merged by a treaty. The article can be amended or removed only with consent of J & K assembly and not otherwise. Even parliament cannot unilaterally remove this article. There have been several reactions from Kashmir leaders.

Repealing Aeticle 370 that confers special status to Jammu & Kashmir is a serious issue with BJP. They were helpless as they failed to get single party majority. Now it appears that they have softened their stand on this issue. It is difficult to visualize how the BJP followers will react.

Political and social conditions of Jammu and Kashmir is quite serious. Quarrelling with other parties and imposing allegations won't give them votes. Congress has good majority on this state. It will be difficult for BJP to get majority of any party.

This time BJP Looks good and people start neglecting congress. Might be there is a chance of BJP this election.

It is not possible for BJP to win Majority in this election. Removal of section 370 is in interest of Kasmiri's and whole nation.

What is the difficulty with article 370, for rest of India, I could not understand, are you ok with special status of JK and a differentiation of this state is the crux problem, why a state should go election in each six years where as rest of us will have five year term, and again, one cannot buy land property there as , citizen we can buy land everywhere in India except JK, and why there is a Supreme Court in JK, all these are article 370, but what is wrong with this and why this is problematic to rest of India. :whistle: :whistle: :whistle: :whistle:

I have reservations on granting any special status to any state which absurdly runs contrary to unity of this country and by giving in to such an irrational demand we compromised with the issue fundamentally. It shows our guilty conscience in accepting J&K as an integral part of India. Here we can't do much about undoing an act done decades back. So let us smile though our ordeal!! :evil: :evil: :evil:

Yes it is question, when J&K is part of India than why separate constitution. This section is barrier in development of J&K. When citizen of rest India cann't purchase property in J&K that who will like to invest there.

BJP is leaving no chance of kicking up controversy in the states where it is not in power. It is trying to create as much confusion as possible in the minds of voters and reap its fruit. In this way it is proving it has nothing positive to offer. It is showing its desperation in using insulting language and making personal attack on the leadership of its opponent parties. In indulging in such tactics it is losing its goodwill among many people who otherwise would have supported it.
Article 370 is just another point on which it wants to rake up dust. Does it have policies to develop the state, create jobs, build up infrastructure to provide better healthcare and education? What are its plans to make the state free from bloodshed and take it on the path of progress? These are the topics on which intelligent citizens want to know its plan.

But they do not adress intelligent citizens. They just make mob management and media management and create the impressiuon that they are just coming to power. Similar exercise was made in the past also under slogan of 'India shining'. In fact, both major parties are corrupt. Everyone knows of what the main opposition party ruled states in Karnataka and Uttar Pradesh did. Now both so called main stream parties have lost ground in Uttar Pradesh so that only Bahujan Samaj Party and Samajvadi party are relevant.

They have asked for discussions on this article, as one has to diagnosis whether this article is giving prudent benefit to JK or not, it is the only state where if girls marry outside state will lose rights of property. There may be negatives abt. it, the mere what the govt. of the day saying by simple discussion on it is going to hurt JK is point not approved by many. If it is giving riche benefits then continue with it, what abt, the other way round, time to ponder upon.

Actually the differentiation between man and woman is not so much a matter directly flowing for Article 370. This is owing to social norms. A woman gets title and other facilities from her husband whereas husband retains his original title and status. Hence a woman married to some one outside Jammu & Kashmir will get status of her husband. I remember that Dr. Karan singh's sister Ratna was married to Nepal King Mahendra. Thus she became maharani of Nepal and acquired new status.

I am not talking abt. ancestral properties, if a JK girl marries a person outside JK permanent resident, then she cannot buy a land at JK, just like rest of we Indians. But it is not the case with males of JK. CM of JK married to a British lady, still he can buy new properties in JK, but his sister, married to Sachin Pilot, who is from Rajastan, and she cannot buy a single foot in JK. It is according to article 370. In JK the percentages of SC and ST is 60 or 70 % but sadly they are not entitled for reservation in jobs, of India or in JK, due to article 370, all these are negatives, and these can be amended, if not removed, it is not a constitutional amendment. simple executive order can modify some provisions.
