In a historic move taken up by the current government, Home Minister Amit Shah proposed the abrogation of Article 370 from the state of Jammu and Kashmir. Amit Shah while addressing the parliament on Monday announced that the government has decided to repeal Article 370 of the Constitution which grants special status to Jammu and Kashmir, and bars people from rest of the country to buy land on the state.

Shortly after the resolution was tabled in Rajya Sabha, Shiromani Akali Dal MLA Manjinder S Sirsa came forward to cheer for the Modi government. In a recent Twitter post, he hailed the decision and said, "Historical decision: Article 370 to be revoked India is ONE #Kashmir"
