What is in the resolution ?

The motion moved by the Government said that the Assembly reaffirms the importance of special and constitutional guarantees protecting the identity, culture and rights of the people of Jammu and Kashmir, and expresses concern over the unilateral removal of these guarantees. This Assembly urges the Government of India to initiate dialogue with the elected representatives of the people of Jammu and Kashmir to implement constitutional mechanisms for the restoration of special status, constitutional guarantees and these provisions. This Assembly emphasizes that national unity and the just aspirations of the people of Jammu and Kashmir must be safeguarded in any process of resettlement.

Editorial Perspective

It should be remembered that no matter how much effort is made, Article 370 will not be applied again. Indians should also realise the mentality of those who are trying to bring Article 370 back, and those Muslims of J&K who elected these politicians to power.
