Producer Ekta Kapoor said,'' It's a radical decision but need of the hour!! Only hope Kashmir stays safe !#historicalday''.
Director, producer Kunal Kohli said,'' The argument that the scrapping of #Article370 #Article35A is unconstitutional doesn't hold. If at a time it was fair to apply it, It's fair to remove it when it isn't working. It was never meant to be permanent. Can't get diff results doing the same thing.''
Union Home Minister Amit Shah moved a resolution seeking abrogation of Article 370 (3). He also moved a bill to provide the status of Union Territory to Ladakh and a separate Union Territory for Jammu and Kashmir.
Mr. Shah moved Jammu and Kashmir Reorganisation Bill, 2019. The Home Minister said Ladakh will get the status of Union Territory without Legislature.
