Kunal Kohli: "History unfolding in front of our eyes #Article370 #Article35A #kashmir" "THE fundamental difference between states and union territory is states are the administrative units having their own governments. whereas UTs are ruled directly by the central government through Lieutenant Governor as the administrator." "2 new union territories created out of the state of #JammuKashmir. I just hope n pray there’s peace n stability in the region finally." "The argument that the scrapping of #Article370 #Article35A is unconstitutional doesn’t hold.If at a time it was fair to apply it,It’s fair to remove it when it isn’t working.
