Abolishing Article 35(A) will dilute autonomy granted under Article 370 for Jammu and Kashmir, breach UN Resolution




Article 35 A is a provision incorporated in the Constitution giving the Jammu and Kashmir legislature a carte blanche to decide who all are “permanent residents” of the state and confer on them special rights and privileges in public sector jobs, acquisition of property in the state, scholarships and other public aid and welfare. Article 35 A was incorporated into the Constitution in 1954 by an order of President Rajendra Prasad on the advice of Jawaharlal Nehru cabinet. The presidential order was issued under Article 370(1)(d) of the Constitution. This provision allows the president to make certain “exceptions and modifications” to the Constitution for the benefit of “State Subjects” of Jammu and Kashmir.
So Article 35 A was added to the Constitution as a testimony of the Special consideration the Indian government accorded to the “permanent resident” of Jammu and Kashmir.
