NJAC Act was struck down earlier because of the legislative appointee (Law Minister) who was part of the judge selection according to that Act. It wasn't a question of Fundamental Rights.

On the basis of Fundamental Rights, Article 370 itself is invalid, because it mandated that an Indian citizen not a resident of J&K has no Fundamental Rights in J&K derived from the Indian constitution, or the prior J&K one. E.g. Right to Freedom includes right of movement, residency and occupation, all of which were denied in J&K, even though the 1994 J&K constitutional amendment clearly states that J&K is a part of India.

View: Why Kashmir move is a clear message to Trump, Pakistan
The answer from India has come. It drops the curtain on President Donald Trump’s enthusiasm to mediate in Kashmir and Pakistan’s attempts to link Kashmir to peace in Afghanistan.

The Indian government’s decision to withdraw the special status of Jammu & Kashmir and bifurcate the state, can also be read as a firm message to all who entertained any ideas of influencing, intervening or mediating in addition to its many domestic implications.

India’s move might raise alarm in some capitals, especially about the manner in which the state political leadership was put under house arrest and made incommunicado. State Department Spokesperson Morgan Ortagus expressed concern about “detentions” and urged that India respect “individual rights.”

But the overall statement from Ortagus was measured. While saying India had revised the constitutional status of Jammu & Kashmir, it noted the Indian government had “described these actions as strictly an internal matter”

New Delhi did well to keep Washington in the loop. External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar had apparently informed Secretary of State Mike Pompeo of New Delhi’s impending moves when the two met in Bangkok last week.

Also relevant is the fact the BJP had explicitly mentioned abrogation of Article 370 in its election manifesto earlier this year just like it had announced its intention to go nuclear in the 1998 party manifesto. It shouldn’t come as a surprise really.

The removal of “special status” does allow India to say there is no dispute to discuss with Pakistan anymore. It’s a risky decision but most Indians will likely support J&K’s mainstreaming. Whether Article 370 was the “biggest hurdle” to normalcy in the state as the home minister stressed remains to be seen.

The overall underlying message from the BJP – Now Trump can mediate in getting Pakistan-occupied Kashmir back to India.

The shock in Pakistan is palpable. Just as Prime Minister Imran Khan and his military sponsors thought they had gained ground in their US visit, the ground shifted.

When in doubt, cue in the outrage and a heavy dose of fear-mongering – Khan has already said India’s move will “further deteriorate relations between nuclear-capable neighbours.” The gratuitous reference to nuclear weapons is typical and aimed straight at Washington to generate predictable commentary from predictable commentators.

New Delhi should be quite used to the exercise.

But Pakistan’s frustration may translate into actions more desperate than already seen on the LOC in the immediate aftermath of Trump’s mediation offer. To press their fleeting advantage, Rawalpindi generals could create a border crisis to provoke an Indian reaction, which would give them an excuse to knock on Trump’s door once again.

They will activate Senator Lindsey Graham, their new champion who has easy access to Trump. Turns out Graham attended the Khan-Trump meeting last month and could well have been the planter of the Kashmir seed.

Don’t be surprised if Graham, egged on by Pakistan, comes up with some odd plan to triangulate the Kashmir issue in response to the revocation of Article 370.

Trump may continue to make fresh exertions on Kashmir until such time as Washington wants to keep Pakistan dreaming. But that will only prove the law of diminishing returns.

India’s position has been conveyed to the Trump Administration at all levels, and some of it may be getting through to the chief. Trump’s second attempt at offering mediation on Kashmir was marginally more restrained. Apparently National Security Advisor John Bolton and Vice President Mike Pence have explained India’s stand.

But what does it all mean in the end? It seems the Trump Administration has done its risk analysis on the subject and concluded that India’s discomfort/irritation is a price worth paying to keep Pakistan engaged in this crucial phase of the Afghanistan peace process.

Washington’s topmost priority in South Asia now is a face-saving “peace” agreement that allows at least half of the 14,000 US troops to come home. If the goal is achieved, Trump will project it as a massive foreign policy win in his re-election campaign. For that Pakistan’s cooperation is important.

But US officials also want Pakistan to meet its commitments to the Financial Action Task Force to get off the “grey list” for terrorist financing. A senior State Department official said last week that Pakistan’s “political commitments” had to be “translated into specific actions.”

The official stressed this administration had put more pressure on Pakistan than any other. “I don’t think there is any complaint from India about the South Asia strategy and its priorities.” And if Pakistan takes positive steps, “we are prepared to recognize the steps” but they must be sustainable and irreversible.

Pakistan is busy recalculating its moves as we speak.

Dimran threatens soosai
Sweet that this comes out on Faax Nooje.
Imran Khan warned of new suicide bombings in the disputed territory of Kashmir region after the Indian government rescinded the region's autonomy.

Khan made the remarks during a speech to the parliament, urging the world to notice India’s reckless moves to change the status of disputed Kashmir, which is split between the two countries, and stressing that it will lead to violence.

“With an approach of this nature, incidents like Pulwama are bound to happen again. I can already predict this will happen,” Khan said, referring to the February terror attack that killed 40 paramilitary police in Pulwama.

{Next Balakot will be in downtown Isloo}

He expressed fears that Kashmiri people, angered over India’s decision to strip the region of its special status, may target Indian security forces, an attack New Delhi may pin on Pakistan.

The Indian government blamed Pakistan for the terror attack in February, bringing the two countries to the brink of war after India retaliated by striking Pakistani targets. Tensions eventually eased following a few goodwill gestures, including a release of a captured Indian pilot, and international reaction.
Interesting terminology:
India’s reckless moves to change the status of disputed Kashmir, which is split between the two countries
Recognizing that India has the authority to make or change laws in POK as well? :rotfl:

FoxNews:
But the Pakistani leader said this time, if New Delhi decides to strike targets inside his country, such hostility would likely lead to war.
Pakistan’s army chief, meanwhile, said the military will “go to any extent” to support Kashmiris and that Pakistan's regional security policy “stands by the Kashmiris in their just struggle to the very end of every Kashmiri Muslim,” the Telegraph reported.

From TimesNow:

Pro-India posters pop up across Islamabad suggesting integration of Balochistan, PoK into India. :shock: :?:

The posters read "Maha Bharat" with a map of India including PoK and Baloch region.

Interestingly, the posters also contain remarks of Shiv Sena leader Sanjay Raut asserting that India will reclaim Balochistan and PoK the same way it reclaimed Jammu and Kashmir by revoking Article 370.

"Today, we have reclaimed Jammu and Kashmir. Tomorrow, we will take Balochistan and PoK. I have trust in this government that it'll fulfil the dream of undivided India," Raut has been quoted in the poster as saying.

https://theprint.in/opinion/on-article- ... ct/272429/
Surprisingly, the reactions were, without exception, muted and unconcerned, bordering on approval. Although the conversations were restricted to Article 35A, they led me to believe that the scrapping of Article 370 will elicit no real response from the international community, save rage in Pakistan and a pro-forma condemnation by the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC). Why is that?

Modi did the groundwork
Clearly, Prime Minister Narendra Modi was laying the ground for this momentous occasion when he spoke to Donald Trump at the Osaka G20 summit. He definitely did not ask for mediation, but he almost certainly informed him of the decision, although that clearly went awry. Trump’s restraint in not responding to a public denial by the Indian government meant that some kind of urgent communication had taken place and the US President was finally informed about the exact request. Clearly when asked again – he did offer to mediate if asked – he did not repeat that he was asked to mediate by Modi.

In many ways, the US reaction is not just the most important reaction, it’s the only real reaction that counts. This is because the western foreign policy media, dominated as it is by US thinking, is seldom divergent and will align its views to the US.

BTW, I don't think this speech was prepared overnight. Someone worked on the talking points for days perhaps months and kept it ready to be delivered.
1. Speeches like this are typically culmination of experiences for a long period, the points are just collated. His conviction shows he has been working on all the aspects and connected well with the ground. People just keep things in mind and accumulate over periods.He shows wisdom beyond years, but the hardships actually bring out such things. In my single visit to ladakh many years back..common people actually told about many of these things...in addition to the corruption cuts by officials from srinagar and unnecessary employment of kashmiris that they had to do at the cost of their own..to keep the officials happy. Dont want to extrapolate as it was based on a very small sample and individual experience
2. this guy comes across as a fantastic pic by bjp..he buldozed the entire narrative in less than 10 minutes. He is a good candidate to be groomed as a the leader for entire J&K not just ladakh. he should be closely followed.

I hope these Kashmiri Muslims above know what "investment" is. It is not dole or welfare or freebies, they seem to be used to having the rest of India pay for their stuff. Now they have to work for it just like anyone else.

Has my vote.

Alice Wells, or whatever her name is, is going to be in Isloo soon like tomorrow maybe. At the very least, Bakis should tell her no AfPak deal unless India hands over Kashmir on a platter with a ribbon on top. That should teach that bleddy Mudi not to take bakistan lightly henceforth.

One a more serious note, Modi has cross-wired a lot of things in the area with this ONE move.

The US's grand strategy is to have a permanent satellite state in the region which will allow it military facilities from where it can exercise its military power to protect its interests.Oil from the Gulf and countering both China and Russia penetrating into the Arabian Sea, is a continuation of the Great Game played out during the last century, the British replaced today by the US.

Thus far, the Pakis have been the perfect catamite, rent-boy par excellence .Simultaneously , it has tried to seduce India from Snake- Oil Singh's time, when he weakly acquiesced to demands to purchase large quantities of US arms and allow other facilities in exchange for the N-deal.Armtwisting our tough PM Modi as was done to Singh, has proved otherwise .While welcoming better ties, as equals, our PM has drawn a line beyond which the US cannot cross.

The threats of sanctions if we bought Russian arms, Iranian oil and interference in J&K to benefit Pak has been the last straw to the current dispensation in Delhi. The swift, sudden stealth strike in relegating Art.370, etc.,to the dustbin, an anomaly in the Indian state for decades , which allowed vested interests to destabilise J&K in the interests of Pak and its sponsors has most dramatically changed the scenario. This is the equivalent of a warhead with MIRVs! The quisling Kashmiris, perfidious Pakis, crooked Chinese and arrogant and asinine Americans have all been upended by the action of Modiji and Amitji. Like severing the Gordian knot, the Kashmiri " knot" has been severed in style by the sword of Hindustan weilded by the PM and his team led by Amitji.

India's enemies and those who thought we could be " re- colonised" by threats and braggadocio, have taken an almighty tumble.Those most badly wounded are the Kashmiri quislings and Perfidious Pakis, the latter bruised and bloodied along with a painful crotch! The Chins have been slapped in the face and the Yanquis snubbed in style, both interlopers "given the shaft" and told to mind their own business.

Our task now is to swiftly follow up in executing the details of the decision taken and return peace to the state...sorry, Union Territories.
QED.

Technically it has been made inoperative. Not the same as repealed, and also not the same as 'some provisions taken out', but it basically eliminates J&K's autonomous powers in favour of full application of the Indian Constitution.

This 370 would make absolutely no sense to anyone outside India and yindoo culture. Indian soldiers were dropped into J&K in a desperate attempt to stop the vermin from mass-murdering, raping and enslaving Kashmiris. And when that battle was sort-of won, the Kashmiris told the Indians that they had no right to ****BUY***** (not "TAKE" as Pakis would have done) land in Kashmir? What about the land where their blood was shed? Where they fell dead? Insane. It should be a Case Study in the Annals of Asinine Diplo-Blunders.

Imagine Texas Accession Act. Would DupliCity agree to give Texas Special Autonomy, with carpet-baggers from Maine (such as Bush family) prohibited from owning property in Texas? Did Russia prohibit Russians from owning land in Crimea? Britain prevent Englishppl from owning land in Scotland or Northern Ireland?

Americans went into Oirope to drive out the Nazis. Over 100,000 died. Were Americans prohibited from buying land in Europe as a result?

370 as practised these past 65 years was totally insane. So no DT would even pretend to understand that. It was faaar worse than the treaties that DT accused BO and predecessors from signing.

DT offer to mediate may be to get permission to build Trump Towers Muzzafarbad after negotiating POK accession to India.

Bakis are stupid. They will prove again and again that they are stupid. So cannot put past them. If Bakis do the above, they will prove again that they are stupid and they definitely are the barbarian dregs of orcs.

There is a limit when their four fathers want to step in to bail them out. None stepped in even after so many days. Even former UK had to resort to a measly farticle in Guardian and former UK is still watching developments. BBC is even more measly, it ends up with a statement
However another constitutional expert, AG Noorani, told BBC Hindi it was "an illegal decision, akin to committing fraud" that could be challenged in the Supreme Court.
But the fraud was committed by the leaders of Cashmere in connivance with Bandit'ji on Jammu, Ladakh & Kashmir and the entire of India by dissolving its constituent assembly and putting in force a state constitution which denied basic rights to half of its citizens.

In nutshell, anybody supporting Article 370 is a sexist, casteist, rapist, murderer.

After Balakit, these same ISI mouthpieces were screaming about going to Sialkot. This has no value unless there is corroboration.

I just went in their shi**y website, there is no NOTAM https://www.caapakistan.com.pk/NOTAMS/NotamView.aspx

Someone with a twitter account should ask him what the h*ll kind of “security analyst” he is.

The MP from Ladhakh is something. He had his notes but spoke totally ex tempore and referred to them only occasionally, to look at points. All his speech came from straight from his head. And when was the last time one heard this line from anybody in KAshmir- Hum bharat ka atoot ang ban na chahte hain. He said it twice. That's Ladakh for you.

Burnt effigy of Ernakulam MP Hybi Eden who voted against scrapping 370. Totally ashamed of all 20 MPs from Kerala who took anti National stand and echoed voice of pakistan.

Technically it has been made inoperative. Not the same as repealed, and also not the same as 'some provisions taken out', but it basically eliminates J&K's autonomous powers in favour of full application of the Indian Constitution.
Check the comments from ex AGs to usual idiot.

370 is scrapped. They may not tear 2 pages or cut&delete of current constitution but can do for next edition just like they did for some 371x provisions.

I think this is primarily a question of how one parses 'scrapped'. I define the term as the constitution having been amended and the Act modified or deleted.

But that has not happened, since there has been no constitution amendment bill tabled or passed on the matter - there was a Presidential Order within the purview of Article 370, followed by a legislative act.

I prefer the term inoperative, because it matches official language, and better defines the situation - the Article remains in the constitution, and has been rendered ineffective through one of its subsections that the President has the power to exercise.

As expected, some of the pro- Paki UK newsrags have sharply criticised the scrapping of Art.370, forgetting their most heinous and shameful role in the Partition of India, an act worse than even the Nazi Holocaust and treatment of its " untermenschen".They calmly state that war broke out almost immediately after independence, simply ignoring the facts of history and act of Partition that fuelled war and conflict on the subcontinent of India that 7 decades plus, has not ended.This was the masterplan of the British to leave the peoples of former imperial India at each others throats so we would never
attain our global status as one of the greatest powers economically and strategically.

Despite Partition, 7 decades on, India has emerged as a great power, dismembered Pakistan, the British creation and is reaching for the moon literally speaking.The ambition of its rulers are to regain our lost heritage and to fulfill our " tryst with destiny".As far as J& K is concerned, that " tryst" has been well and truly filled....on our side of the LOC.Regaining POK is what remains.
