A year after Article 370 revocation, restrictions prevent NC's all-party meet

Srinagar: Curfew-like restrictions remained in force here on Wednesday as authorities foiled plans of the National Conference to hold an all-party meeting on the first anniversary of Jammu and Kashmir losing its statehood and special constitutional status, but BJP cadres held symbolic celebrations to mark the day.

The official curfew was lifted Tuesday evening but there was no easing of restrictions across the valley on the day when a year ago Article 370 of the Constitution giving special status to the state was revoked and it was transformed into a Union Territory.

Authorities said the restrictions were imposed to contain the spread of COVID-19.

Strict restrictions in Kashmir valley on first anniversary of abrogation of Article 370

Srinagar: Today marks the anniversary of the Abrogation of Article 370 and 35A, when last year the erstwhile state of Jammu and Kashmir (J&K) was stripped of its special status and bifurcated into Union Territory (UT) of Ladakh and the Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir.

The now-scrapped Article 35A gave special rights to the people of J&K and defined people who are/shall be permanent residents of the state. It also governed special rights and privileges for residents on State government employment, scholarships, acquisition of immovable property and settlement rights.

The ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), in August, proposed the Jammu and Kashmir Reorganisation Bill of 2019 - a resolution suggesting the removal of the 1954 order which passed through both houses of Parliament in two days, and received the presidential assent.

President Ram Nath Kovind signed a Presidential Order for the same, thus forming an Act, on August 9, 2019.

The new act has accorded more powers to the Lieutenant Governors of the UT J&K - with the legislature and UT Ladakh - under central rule.

Implementation of Section 144

On August 5, 2019, from midnight, Restrictions under Section 144 Code of Criminal Procedure (CrPC) were put into effect in Srinagar.  

Simultaneously, People's Democratic Party (PDP) president Mehbooba Mufti, National Conference (NC) vice-president Omar Abdullah, veteran Kashmiri MP and former chief minister Farooq Abdullah, Congress leader Usman Majid and CPI(M) leader M Y Tarigami along with thousands of other local leaders were placed under house arrest.
