Note that: 

• the original Article 370 of India’s Constitution was illegal (under international law) and a political compromise borne of a drawn-out negotiation between a non-representative, non-democratic, India-sanctioned government in the Indian-Administered Jammu and Kashmir and the Government of India 
• the Government of India had historically used Article 370 of India’s Constitution to implement the inverse of what was purportedly intended by Article 370, namely to make Jammu and Kashmir an inferior, constitutionally subordinate, subservient region lacking territorial integrity rather than a privileged, constitutionally separate, fully autonomous state with territorial integrity and extraordinary powers over its own affairs.

On August 5, 2019, the Government of India announced unprecedented steps relating to Indian-Administered Jammu and Kashmir.  India’s President issued C.O. 272 (the Constitution (Application to Jammu and Kashmir) Order, 2019) which, among other things, generally imposed all of the provisions of the Indian Constitution on Jammu and Kashmir.  

India’s Parliament  passed this resolution which:

• Claimed to be exercising powers conferred by Article 370 on the recommendation of the Indian Parliament (after India imposed direct Indian President rule on Jammu and Kashmir, the Government of India claimed that all of the powers constitutionally vested in the Jammu and Kashmir Constituent Assembly were now vested in India’s Parliament);
• Claimed to use Article 370 to declare all of Article 370 inoperative except a new clause (1); and
• Claimed to insert a new clause (1) to Article 370 that applied all of the provisions of the Indian Constitution to Jammu and Kashmir without any modification or exception, notwithstanding the Constitution of Jammu and Kashmir, legal custom or any other “instrument, treaty or agreement.”
• Moved to accept the Jammu and Kashmir Reorganisation Bill, 2019 to be considered and passed
