Union Home Minister Amit Shah has emphasized that the abrogation of Article 370 has ushered in a new era of empowerment for marginalized communities and has strengthened grassroots democracy in Jammu and Kashmir.

On the fifth anniversary of this historic decision, Shah reiterated the success of the Narendra Modi government's efforts in fostering peace and comprehensive development in the region. He also expressed gratitude to Prime Minister Modi for this landmark move.

Article 35A, conceived in 1954 for Jammu and Kashmir, granted special rights through a Presidential order. Its abrogation, along with Article 370 on August 5, 2019, led to the reorganization of the state into the Union Territories of Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh.
