Master Stroke(30.08.2018): Protest erupts in Kashmir ahead of Supreme Court hearing on Article 35A

Article 370 of the Constitution grants special status to Jammu and Kashmir, while Article 35A disallows people from residing in Jammu and Kashmir, buying or owning immovable property in the state, settle permanently, or get state government jobs.

The Jammu and Kashmir government had earlier moved an application seeking deferment of the hearing in the case, citing upcoming panchayat and urban local body elections.
