Government Ad Lists How Scrapping Art 370 Will Benefit People

The governor administration has launched an advertisement campaign to inform people how J&K will benefit from the abrogation of Articles 370 and 35A. The state information department has issued full-page advertisements in local newspapers claiming how a single constitution for the entire country will benefit Jammu, Kashmir, and Ladakh.

According to the ad, Articles 370 and 35A were responsible for the “backwardness of J&K”. It says revocation of this Article would benefit the ST community including Gujjars and Bakkerwals, who comprise 12% of J&K’s population. “It will also benefit SCs and OBCs. The safari karamcharies in the state were being denied citizenship rights and therefore could not get other jobs. The revocation of the Articles will improve their working conditions,”.
