Abrogation of Article 370 that gives special status to the state of Jammu and Kashmir had long been on the BJP’s wish list and was also mentioned in the party’s election manifesto earlier this year, yet the announcement that the controversial law had been done away with came as a surprise. As did Home Minister Amit Shah’s statement in Parliament that the government will bifurcate the state into two union territories.
