Revocation of Art 370 is a brilliantly executed plot over many years.
Proves ‘Where there is will, there is a way’. Summary of a brilliantly executed action follows (1/n)
Proves ‘Where there is will, there is a way’. Summary of a brilliantly executed action follows (1/n)
(2/n) Held protracted negotiations with PDP, even agreed to a CMP that was decried by RWs, inveigled Sajjad Lone and formed a Govt with PDP, gave a long rope to @mehboobamufti
(3/n) Withdrew support at a time when NC and Congress would be salivating with the prospect of power, as PDP was completely discredited by then. Governor’s Rule under J&K Constitution. Assembly kept suspended.
(4/n) NC and PDP beginning to understand the chess moves. Tried to come together. Governor dissolves Assembly. The Fax controversy
(5/n) Using security pretext, elections not held with the General Elections. Valley getting restless.
(6/n) 6 months of Governor’s Rule over, State passes into President’s Rule. Parliament becomes the forum to pass legislation.
(7/n) A trial balloon is floated in the form of SC/ST Bill, taking Government consent as the consent of Assembly. @OmarAbdullah understood the implications and shouted, but SC accepted it. Testing successful
(8/n) Trump gave unnecessary hope, making Pakistan hyperactive and providing the excuse to UOI to beef up forces in the Valley
(9/n) Using the tested template of SC/ST Bill, Presidential Order made with Government’s consent taken to be Assembly’s consent.
(10/n) Using the 1954 precedent of amending the Constitution (35A), another Presidential Order amends the Constitution and substitutes legislative assembly for constituent assembly in the proviso to Art 370(3).
(11/n) As Parliament is acting as the legislative assembly for J&K, Resolution moves in Parliamnet to revoke Art 370. Passed by 2/3 majority.
Mission accomplished.
Congratulations Bharat.
