A discussion on the impact of Article 370 on terrorism in Kashmir
Amit Shah, the Home Minister of India, has stated that Article 370 contributed to the spread of terrorism in Kashmir for the following reasons:
- Special status under Article 370 enabled separatist sentiments to flourish in the region, creating a conducive environment for terrorism.
- Restrictions on laws and governance due to Article 370 hindered security forces in effectively countering terrorism.
- Article 370 hindered the development of Jammu and Kashmir, leading to unemployment and frustration among the youth, thereby fueling support for terrorist activities.
- The special provisions allowed for a lack of proper integration of Jammu and Kashmir with the rest of India, making it vulnerable to external influences supporting terrorism.
