According to Article 370, all the laws that the Indian
parliament passes for J& K, needs an approval of the state government
before they get implemented. Exceptions to these laws are those related to
defence, foreign affairs, communication and finance. The state of Jammu and
Kashmir is currently being governed according to the specific laws of the state
itself. Those laws come under the constitution of Jammu and Kashmir instead of
rest of the country.
There are different views
regarding whether this article should be revoked or not. One side believes that
if it is revoked there will be a huge gap between the state and Indian Union.
The other major issue is that Ladakh will be made a Union Territory which
implies that it will be detached from Jammu and Kashmir. There will be
disturbances in the state and its relations with the rest of the country. It is
believed that completely abolishing this Article will help J & K to attain
same status as that of the other states in the constitution. Many also feel
that unemployment will be a big issue as people will have to go outside for
jobs. Article 370 preserves the identity, culture and freedom of the people
living in J & K.
The other side is completely
opposite in their opinion. There are many people who think that Article 370
will be a good step for the long run. Because of this Article, anyone who is
not a native Kashmiri cannot buy property inside the state. The state will
witness better job employment and living conditions when national law and order
will be applicable to it. It is also supposed that this Article will act like a
bridge between the state and the centre. So as of now, this subject is highly
debatable and a complex affair because both the sides have their Pros and cons
and no set agreements can achieved.
