On December 11, the Supreme Court gave a historic verdict on Article 370 and upheld the stand of the Central Government.
The country’s top court said that Article 370 is now history and should not be discussed. CJI DY Chandrachud said in his judgment that Jammu and Kashmir had lost its sovereignty from the day it became an integral part of India.
In such a situation, the President has full authority to take decisions on the state. This decision has made the neighboring country Pakistan restless. He has expressed strong objection to this.
The acting Foreign Minister of Pakistan rejected this decision outright. Said that Kashmir is an international issue, not India. Pakistani media has also criticized this decision.
Pakistan, which is facing economic crisis at home, never fails to put a halt to the issues of others. He is doing the same on Article 370 also.
Pakistan has expressed strong objection to the decision of the Indian Supreme Court on Monday. Its acting Foreign Minister Jalil Abbas Jilani has strongly rejected this decision. He says that Kashmir is not an Indian issue but an international issue.
what did pakistan say
Pakistan’s acting Foreign Minister Jalil Abbas wrote on social media, “International law does not recognize India’s unilateral and illegal actions of 5 August 2019.
The judgment of the Supreme Court of India has no legal value. The issue of Jammu and Kashmir has been in the United Nations for decades. “The rights of Kashmiris cannot be taken away in this way.”
He said that India cannot retreat from international obligations in the name of its own laws and decisions.
protests in pakistan
On August 5, 2019, when the Modi government removed Article 370 from the Constitution, it was strongly criticized in Pakistan.
There were demonstrations on the streets due to the poisonous words of the Pakistani government. There was a huge protest against this decision of India on PoK also. Even at this time there is fierce protest in Pakistan.
Pakistani media has strongly criticized the decision. Pak media has termed this decision as a ‘conspiracy of Modi government’.
Reactions of opposition leaders in India
This decision on Article 370 received mixed reactions in the country. Many leaders welcomed the decision while others objected to it.
Former Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti compared this decision to death sentence. At the same time, AIMI Chief Asaduddin Owaisi said that no one can stop BJP now.
In this way, soon Hyderabad, Kolkata, Mumbai and Chennai will also be made union territories. NC Chief Omar Abdullah said that we are definitely disappointed but will continue the struggle.
