India has scrapped a law that grants special status to Indian-administered Kashmir amid an indefinite lockdown and massive troop deployment in the disputed region.
Minister of Home Affairs Amit Shah, a close ally of Prime MinisterNarendra Modi, told parliament on Monday that the president had signed a decree abolishing Article 370 of the constitution, stripping the significant autonomy Kashmir had enjoyed for seven decades.
The move is expected to further inflame tensions in the Muslim-majority region of more than seven million people and infuriate rival Pakistan.https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2019/08/kashmir-special-status-explained-articles-370-35a-190805054643431.html
