The United Arab Emirates (UAE) on August 6 defended India's decision to remove Article 370 that gave special status to Jammu and Kashmir, saying it is an internal matter of New Delhi and is aimed at ‘reducing regional disparity and improving efficiency’, reports The Times of India. The UAE ambassador to India, Dr Ahmad Al Banna stated that, “The reorganisation of states is not a unique incident in the history of independent India & that it was mainly aimed at reducing regional disparity and improving efficiency. It is an internal matter as stipulated by the Indian Constitution." The UAE is a member state of the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC).

President Ram Nath Kovind has declared abrogation of the provisions of Article 370 of the Constitution, which gave special status to Jammu and Kashmir (J&K), after both Houses of Parliament [Lok Sabha (Lower House of India’s Parliament) and Rajya Sabha (Upper House of India’s Parliament)] passed a resolution in this regard on August 6, reports Daily Excelsior. An official notification signed by the President late on August 6 night said, “In exercise of the powers conferred by clause (3) of Article 370 read with clause (1) of Article 370 of the Constitution of India, the President, on the recommendation of Parliament, is pleased to declare that, as from the 6th August, 2019, all clauses of the said article 370 shall cease to be operative…” It also said, except the following which shall read as under, namely: — “370. All provisions of this Constitution, as amended from time to time, without any modifications or exceptions, shall apply to the State of Jammu and Kashmir notwithstanding anything contrary contained in Article 152 or Article 308 or any other Article of this Constitution or any other provision of the Constitution of Jammu and Kashmir or any law, document, judgement, ordinance, order, by-law, rule, regulation, notification, custom or usage having the force of law in the territory of India, or any other instrument, treaty or agreement as envisaged under Article 363 or otherwise.” The Government’s move to revoke the special status of J&K and bifurcate the border State into two Union Territories (UTs) secured Parliament’s approval on August 6 with the Lok Sabha passing the new measures with an over two-thirds majority. The Rajya Sabha gave its approval to the resolution on August 5. The Government had announced on August 5 the removal of some provisions of Article 370 to take away J&K’s special status and proposed bifurcation of the State into two UTs-J&K and Ladakh, a decision that seeks to redraw the map and future of the region.

Prime Minister (PM) Narendra Modi on August 8 said that Article 370 had failed to benefit Jammu and Kashmir (J&K) and only stoked separatism, terrorism and corruption to the advantage of a few families, reports The Times of India. Addressing the nation, two days after Parliament voted to scrap J&K’s special status and create two UTs (Union Territories) of Jammu & Kashmir and Ladakh, the PM said “liberation from Article 370 was a reality” and the entire region was now set to witness the dawn of a new era of development and peace. J&K will not remain a Union territory for long once the pace of development picks up, and the people of the region will get the opportunity to elect MLAs and a Chief Minister soon in a fair and transparent manner, PM Narendra Modi said.

President Ram Nath Kovind on August 9 gave assent to a legislation for bifurcation of Jammu and Kashmir, and two Union Territories (UTs) — Jammu and Kashmir, and Ladakh — will come into existence on October 31, reports Daily Excelsior. October 31 happens to be the birth anniversary of the country’s first Union Home Minister Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, who was instrumental in the merger of about 565 princely States into the Union of India following Independence. The Parliament had earlier this week given its nod to the legislation for bifurcating the State. A Union Ministry of Home Affairs (UMHA) notification said that “In exercise of the powers conferred by clause (a) of section 2 of the Jammu and Kashmir Reorganisation Act, 2019 (34 of 2019), the Central Government hereby appoints the 31st day of October, 2019, as the appointed day for the purposes of the said Act.” In both the UTs, key subjects such as law and order will be with the Centre. The UT of Jammu and Kashmir will have a Lieutenant Governor and the maximum strength of its Assembly will be 107, which will be enhanced to 114 after a delimitation exercise. Twenty-four seats of the Assembly will continue to remain vacant as they fall under Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK). The current effective strength of the Jammu and Kashmir Assembly is 87, including four seats falling in Ladakh region, which will now be a separate UT without a legislature. The UT of Ladakh will have Kargil and Leh Districts. The Act said Jammu and Kashmir UT will have reservation in the Assembly seats. It also said that the Lok Sabha will have five seats from the UT of J&K, while from Ladakh the Lower House of Parliament will have one seat.

According to Intelligence sources, a seven-member Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) suicide squad has infiltrated into Jammu and Kashmir to perpetrate a massive terror attack on Eid (August 12) or ahead of the Independence Day (August 15), reports The Times of India on August 11. Sources said that Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) has given a go ahead to the banned terror group, JeM to cause as many casualties as they can, without worrying about the ‘collateral damage’. Security officials suspect that the terror group may attack a mosque so that Pakistan is able to pin the blame on India.

As tension between India and Pakistan escalates over scrapping of special status to Jammu and Kashmir, Islamabad has hastily reactivated nearly a dozen terror camps in Pakistan occupied Kashmir (PoK) and close to the International Border (IB) along Jammu and Kashmir, reports The Sentinel Assam on August 11. During the past week, hectic movement of terrorists has been seen around these camps which were almost shut in the wake of May 2019 deadline set up by Financial Action Task Force (FATF). According to Intelligence sources, Indian Security Forces (SFs) have been put on high alert as terror camps in Kotli, Rawlakote, Bagh and Muzaffarabad in PoK area, bordering Line of Control (LoC), have been reactivated with the ostensible backing of Pakistan Army.

Several special laws, which were enacted by the State from time to time keeping in view the security aspect and to check movement of anti-national elements and their agents, will continue to remain in force in the Union Territory (UT) of Jammu and Kashmir and Union Territory (UT) of Ladakh, reports Daily Excelsior on August 11. These laws have not been touched by the Union Ministry of Home Affairs (UMHA) in the Jammu and Kashmir Reorganization Act, 2019 whereby more than 100 Central Laws will get extended to the Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir and Union Territory of Ladakh. This has been decided as these special laws will continue to play crucial role in ensuring proper law and order and internal security in both the Union Territories keeping in view hostile behaviour of neighbouring countries—Pakistan and China and presence of terrorists and their agents in the hinterland.

India on August 16 told Pakistan that it has to stop terrorism to start talks as the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) held a rare closed-door meeting to discuss revocation of the special status of Jammu and Kashmir, reports Daily Excelsior. Indian envoy to the UN Syed Akbaruddin said India’s position was and remains that matters related to the Article 370 of the Constitution are entirely an internal matter of India and these have no external ramifications. Without naming Pakistan, he said there are some who are trying to project an ‘alarmist approach’ to the situation in Kashmir, which is far from the ground realities. “Stop terror to start talks,” he asserted. Akbaruddin, on the Chinese and Pakistani envoys’ remarks after the UNSC meeting, said that, “For the first time after the end of Security Council consultations, we noted that two states (China and Pakistan) who made national statements tried to pass them off as the will of the international community.” He said India is committed to gradually removing all restrictions in Kashmir. “India remains committed to ensure that the situation in Kashmir remains calm and peaceful. We are committed to all the agreements that we have signed on this issue. We note that there are some who try to project an alarmist approach to the situation, which is far from the ground realities.” “Of particular concern is that one state is using terminology of jihad and promoting violence in India, including by their leaders. Violence is no solution to the problems that all of us face,” Akbaruddin said.

Intelligence inputs have warned that Pakistan is recruiting Afghan and Pasthun fighters for infiltration into Jammu and Kashmir and over 100 of them are positioned at various launchpads along the Line of Control (LoC), reports The Hindu on August 23. “There have also been specific intelligence inputs that Pakistan-based terror group Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM) has deployed over a dozen Afghan and Pathan terrorists for Border Action Team (BAT) attempts, comprising of Afghan militants and highly trained Special Services Group (SSG) of the Pakistan Army and for infiltration across the LoC into Lipa valley in North Kashmir,” defence sources said. Officials also said the major attempt to push in terrorists was due to the longevity issues of local recruits which has been from few days to four to five months with sustained counter insurgency operations by security forces. On the contrary, the foreign terrorists are well trained and battle hardened. There is also a major recruitment drive in Pakistan administered Kashmir (PaK), especially in areas opposite Keran, Lipa and Poonch sectors, officials added. Daily Excelsior adds that security establishment said that intelligence reports indicate that around 15 JeM cadres are at the launch pad in Lipa Valley. Indian Express adds that there was a JeM meeting in Bahawalpur (Bahawalpur District) of Pakistan’s’ Punjab Province on August 19-20, which was attended by launch commanders and was chaired by Abdul Rauf Asghar, the brother of JeM-founder Masood Azhar. There is an “overall recruitment drive” being conducted in PaK, the security establishment sources mentioned.

The Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) on August 22 issued its first public message since Islamabad clamped down on the group in April 2019, reports First Post. “There are people who are silent, but doing a great deal,” reads the message attributed to the organisation’s chief, Masood Azhar Alvi. Last week, jihadist social media feeds in Pakistan had also circulated a message attributed to Masood Azhar. “Kashmiris need to get out [on to the streets]”, it read. “Then the enemy will beg for peace and negotiation.” However, the message, unlike the one released on August 22, did not bear the insignia of the JeM, or its official publication, al-Qalam.

The Indian Army expects Pakistan to instigate violence in the Jammu and Kashmir (J&K) to internationalize the J&K issue, Chief of Army Staff Bipin Rawat said, reports Hindustan Times. “From the rhetoric and false information campaign launched by Pakistan, it is evident they are likely to create a situation to instigate violence.” He explained that the violence will then be used to project internationally, the narrative that the of J&K are protesting against the removal of special status to the region. According to the Indian Army, Islamabad has put the Pakistan army on a “precautionary deployment,” along the Line of Control (LoC) – the disputed boundary between the two countries. Terror outfits are headless because of a sustained counter insurgency operation by the Indian Army, J&K Police and the para-military and Pakistan is desperately trying to push in trained and hardened terrorists to provide leadership to these groups. The army has so far thwarted at least a dozen of infiltration attempts along the LoC.

On August 28, Jammu and Kashmir Governor Satyapal Malik admitted that pellet guns were used by security personnel during protests in the Kashmir Valley but they took utmost precaution to prevent injuries. “Its our achievement that there has been no civilian casualty so far.
