Abolish article 370 of the Indian constitution to integrate J&K with the rest of India

The Issue

Article 370 of the Indian constitution is an article that gives autonomous status to the state of Jammu and Kashmir. The article is drafted in Part XXI of the Constitution: Temporary, Transitional and Special Provisions. The Constituent Assembly of Jammu and Kashmir, after its establishment, was empowered to recommend the articles of the Indian constitution that should be applied to the state or to abrogate the Article 370 altogether. After the J&K Constituent Assembly later created the state's constitution and dissolved itself without recommending the abrogation of Article 370, the article was deemed to have become a permanent feature of the Indian Constitution. While the article was created to give temporary, transitional, special provisions, it has become a Permanent feature.

In the years since Independence, this article was to be removed. But due to bad administration and wars between India and Pakistan, this article has not been touched. I kindly request all of you to sign this petition in order to send the Government of India an official request to remove this article from the Indian constitution and Integrate J&K with the rest of India. Let us bring J&K home!
