President's rule will be extended in Jammu and Kashmir for a period of six months with effect from July 3. The amendment bill of the Jammu and Kashmir Reservation Act, 2004 was also passed in the Upper House following a speech by Home Minister Amit Shah where he spoke of "Insaniyat, Jamhooriyat, Kashmiriyat".
The resolution to extend the President's rule in Jammu and Kashmir for another six months was already passed by the Lok Sabha While tabling the resolution, Mr Shah said the elections in the state cannot take place now, as the state assembly has been dissolved.
"Modi government's commitment to the policy of 'Jamhooriyat, Insaniyat, Kashmiriyat' should not be taken to mean that the forces that want to divide India will be spared. They will be given an appropriate response in their same language," Amit Shah said in Rajya Sabha.
Jammu and Kashmir has been under central rule since June 2018, when the BJP ended its alliance with Mehbooba Mufti's People's Democratic Party.
