Union Minister Jitendra Singh on Wednesday said the abrogation of provisions of Article 370 has kindled aspirations of the youth of Jammu and Kashmir and is going to turn a new leaf in the state's growth and development.The Union Minister for Development of North Eastern Region (DoNER) also said Article 370 had given rise to unreasonable mental barriers and it had led to isolation of youths."The very realisation of freedom from Article 370 has kindled youth aspirations across Jammu and Kashmir," Singh, who is an MP from Udhampur, said a day after the clause was revoked with a majority vote by both the Houses of Parliament.The resolution abrogating provisions of Article 370 of the Constitution to take away the special status of the state was adopted by the Lok Sabha with 351 members voting in its support and 72 against it, while one member abstained.
And in a sheer coincidence with the number 370, the bill to create two UTS -- Jammu and Kashmir, and Ladakh -- was passed by 370 votes in favour and 70 against. Prime Minister Narendra Modi was present in the House.
The resolution and the bill were approved by the Rajya Sabha on Monday.
