Article 370 Scrapped? Not Really, Explains Harish Salve | Read

The government applied the provisions of the Constitution in its totality and used Articles 2 and 3 to reorganise Jammu and Kashmir, former Solicitor General and Constitutional expert Harish Salve told NDTV today. Calling it a "major surgery" he also clarified the idea that Article 370 was scrapped was a misunderstanding. The Section 3 of Article 370 -- which grants special status to Jammu and Kashmir -- empowers the President to declare the special status inoperative anytime.
