Article 370 Dilution: How Centre, not Kashmir, Has Lost Special Status | Karan Thapar

In a detailed interview, Karan Thapar speaks to Faizan Mustafa, Vice-Chancellor at NALSAR
University of Law, on whether the Centre's decision to render Article 370 ineffective and break J&K into two is
constitutionally valid or not. They also speak about what happens next when this decision is challenged in the Supreme Court. Mustafa tells Thapar that though the court is unlikely to show urgency in this matter, the Centre's failure to ascertain the views of the state assembly can be grounds for striking down the move.

It doesn't matter now... The President has the ultimate power and He has signed on the removal of rest of the clauses of 370. The lawyers will just make money on the hearings and it will be a waste of time for the Court. The unfinished business of Sardar Patel has been not achieved yet- taking back POK, so by looking at the current Home Minister Amit Shah is not at all going to show any mercy to achieve that.

Great interview. Some counters:- 1. Others states specially northeast doesn't have Pakistan as their neighbour. 2. Although there are special provisions for northeast we don't feel any special ourselves. we call ourselves proud Indians. 3. NSCN having peace talk with GoI was constantly giving example of j&k having flag and constitution to GoI. Scrapping of article 370 is hard slap on these insurgents. GoI has achieved two targets with one arrow. 4. Nagas are proud Indians. We just want our history, our cultural uniqueness to be identified by GoI. 5. I had kashmiri friend. In very first talk of ours he cleared that he wants freedom. He used to mention india as another country. 6. There is future danger of insurgents coming from Afghanistan to India via j&k. Government needed to show USA that they just can't leave Afghanistan as it is. 7. Constitutional expert will see through legalities, journalist will see through emotions or things around, forces will see security, bureaucracy will see through administration etc. But it's government who has to consider all the factors while taking and decisions. This decisions may have some drawbacks or plus points. Afterall everyone can't be kept happy. So let's support our government in this decision. And also criticise it if this decision backfires.

[@atulgupta4u]

[@arifzworld]

I'd want to counter all your points.. But specifically point no. 5. Just go live in Kashmir for a year. Go live under AFSPA, PSA. I'm from Ladakh. I have stayed in Kashmir for extended periods of time... The reason most kashmiris or some kashmiris demand freedom is because of the tyrannical way in which the Indian government has been operating in Kashmir. Even now. Its almost a month now and they're under curfew. Do you think with these kinda atrocities they'll be proud Indians?? Lol

[@arifzworld]

Countering point 1. Some other states do have Pakistan as neighbor.. Also, if that's the reason then that's a failure of the government to seal the Border-LOC. Also bilateral talks could be a solution to that, don't u think? Rather than playing with the sentiments of the Kashmiris. What if China is blamed for some reason and all of a sudden Indian Govt does to Nagas what it's doing to Kashmiris? Will it be acceptable. All other points are a joke. You are just biased.

[@aruns.g.2799]

I was hoping for a balanced discussion. Instead Karan is leading Faizan to say what he wants him to, and in some cases badgering him to say whatever he wants to. Even a cloak of balance or neutrality is missing. To his credit Karan has done his homework very well, but the whole point of interview seems to be how wrong the govt. is, and the law minister has goofed up. Does anyone believe that the govt. has not thought through the likely lines of attack on the move? Please be assured that the govt. would not make such elementary mistakes as Karan seems to suggest. It will be an interesting case when it comes up in Supreme court. Stepping back a little bit, Karan seems to have only positive things to say about 370, how it ensured education, inheritance, domicile much better when in force than when it is abrogated. So my simple question is that if everything was so rosy pink, why is terrorism plaguing the state? No mention also is made of why Ladakh is rejoicing at separation from J&K, and what is the mood in Jammu. You are comparing terrorism in J&K vs Maoist insurgency in "18" other states? Really? Mr. Thapar, I hope you know the difference and if not, you are not fit to be called a journalist. Clearly, Mr. Karan Thapar, you are a snake, that bites the hand that feeds you.

In all scenario it will defeat the petitioners, as far as my personal opinion is concerned.

@@pankajgadi although i didn't like the manner in which it was done. But now i think it shouldn't be undone. We indians will be left red faced everywhere.

[@wa7eemchaudhary700]

One of the best and knowledgeable interview as well reviling what is trying to hiding .

[@MubashirKhan14]

What a Debate!!! This is how Debate should be Going How the media needs to get the things Clearification on anything.

[@surendrachauhan6750]

We are enlightened to know the minute details about Article 370 & 35 A from two legends. We have always enjoyed interviews with Karan Thapar. Salute to both of you

[@mrnicea10samsung49]

Nice job

[@1993Shashwat]

This "we" and "them" used during the entire course of interview is one reason why Article 370 should have been abrogated. If all laws applying to "us" i.e. India are similar to the laws applying to "them" i.e. Kashmir, then i guess it makes more sense to abrogate 370 and be seen as one and governed under one Constitution.

[@resilientparasite]

Exactly my point ... Karan thapar is blatantly using the distinction "thier" and the "Indian" law constitution etc ....

[@vikasdarasanapalli1686]

Thank you sir,for clearing the doubts on art 370,I read your article in Indian express but I didn't get it the way I understood here..got a much more crystal clear understanding of what the government has done with art 370

[@absolute7433]

*WE ARE REALLY LIVING IN POST TRUTH WORLD, INSPITE OF KNOWING AND LEARNING A LOT ABOUT WHOLE SITUATION OF J AND K EVEN FROM PROFESSOR WHO IS HERE, I MUST SAY THIS, I HAVE REALLY LEARNT A LOT FROM THIS INTERVIEW AND IT WAS REALLY INFORMATIVE AND AN EYE OPENER IN MANY WAYS, NO DOUBT ABOUT IT!*

[@saiyeddanish1424]

Very good interview , with people of knowledge but please provide this in hindi for all.

[@sadafshah7701]

What a wonderful interview that is so much of information and that is why I love watching your interviews Mr Karan Thapar. Keep bringing the good content and this should be definitely shown to Mr Arnab who just wastes his time and energy in yelling at people.

[@NumanKhan197]

Thanku for the knowledgeable debate Sir Karan Thapar n Sir Faizan The centeral govt is just doing for their own benefit to remain in powers for next so many years nothing else it was a sentimental thing for the ppls of j&k Unfortunately the democracy is gone 😢

[@vijaykundal3844]

Our constitution is better than Indian constitution We happy in our state then why problem to Modi & Shah

[@aftabansari2010able]

are u from J&K??

[@gary6395]

This constitution was made by Hindus when they were 85 percent in the country. I cannot imagine an Islamic country doing the same.

[@sourabhs14]

Then dont come to study and work in delhi and around India. And dont use our hospitals, transport or education facilities. You dumb shit. You will not go to pakistan because it itswlf is a beggar state. People like you just want to remain in India to leech our money. You ignorant fuck

[@meaculpa5563]

They have problem because Kashmiris are happy.

[@pks2856]

Excellent. We learnt a lot... a subject on which 99.99% Indians and the world are blind to...

[@pavanragala9238]

we heard you and Harish salve . Both were excellent. By the way, we had nott witnessed such outrage when Andhra was bifurcated when there was an elected Assembly which rejected the bifurcation but was overruled doing injustice to Residual Andhra pradesh.......I dont see this concern and debate ? Surprising!!!! People are so worried about 370....hmmmmm. The only reason i see is ......? Communal?

[@adilgani4983]

Great karan Sir Brave

[@priyamalhotra3794]

Salute to both of you Gentlemen 🙏🏻Good to see you Mr .Thapper as always 😊Thanks for the right and true information 👏👏👏👏No RTI😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣Big Thanks to Wire👌

[@sonpari8356]

This was much needed. Two highly educated and experience people are talking makes much more sense. Why don't they have someone like Faizan Mustafa in parliament to make sense everytime? Parliament is all about shouting, creating scenes and useless clapping competition.

[@vineetchaturvedi9793]

Pleasure listening to Prof Faisan's clear thoughts on this complex issue.

[@primemedia178]

Hats off to the wire and Karan ji you are still a Devil's Advocate Thanks

Bro ye to " apni dosti bane rahe Wala haii".......

[@vicky21486]

Sir Faizan should be in Rajya Sabha

[@Jansurajksathbiharkavikas]

I am watching after almost 2 years of this and the reason behind is its title, and after watching this I am thinking what the foolish title has been given 😳? I will like to ask Karan that will he be happy if 35A and 370 is applied to all the other states because it gives GOI more power?

[@mkganya6013]

31:39 - This. Every such hesitation by the learned and intellectual community is a death knell for the nation as we've known it till now.

[@gursimranbawasingh]

Man... You have catalysed my interest for law... Such a puzzle it is.....

[@sudhirverma7522]

Actions speak louder than words. Sure, they may have become a "secular" state in 1956 vs 1976 for India, but there was nothing secular about the 1990 genocide of Hindus. Or am I missing something? Kindly enlighten me.

[@letmespeakthetruth1601]

And there was nothing just about the genocide of Muslims in 1947 too. Those who were killed had their remaining family still alive in 1990 or even now. Agreed that 1947 event does not justify killings and atrocities on kashmiri pundits and I would stop always those oppressors no matter who they are. But when whataboutery is the game people play then the truth is buried deep in the jingoism rhetoric and people think that they know everything. You are enlightened now. www.aljazeera.com/news/2017/11/forgotten-massacre-ignited-kashmir-dispute-171106144526930.html

[@vaishaliborkar8642]

What an interview !!! Faizan sir has so much in-depth knowledge about Indian law, loved to hear him.

[@VAPOURIZE100]

Ah finally a good talk show where you can understand what the hell is going on! Hats off to you Dr Faizan from Hyderabad really eye-opening respect from Canada

[@plabanburagohain865]

"Article 370 was all about special powers of the centre"- summary and an eye-opener line for us..heartiest thanks for both of u, sir

[@AjitSingh-yk1je]

“Mr Abdullah, you want that India should defend Kashmir. You wish India should protect your borders, she should build roads in your area, she should supply you food grains, and Kashmir should get equal status as India, but you don’t want India and any citizen of India to have any rights in Kashmir and Government of India should have only limited powers. To give consent to this proposal would be a treacherous thing against the interests of India, and I, as the Law Minister of India, will never do so. I cannot betray the interests of my country.” Did Karan Thapar and Faizan Mustafa discuss the above quoted statement of Mr. Ambedkar during this spurious interview. And on whose behalf was Sheikh Abdullah making this request - the people of Jammu or Ladakh or the the Muslims of the valley.

[@tapastrust9722]

Let peace and prosperity prevail on all humanity. thanks Lakshminarayanan

[@hirpurkait9938]

If 370 conferred greater powers to the centre, its removal should be celebrated by all kashmiris and so called liberals and not mourned by karan thapar

[@rajv3987]

you are right , now this is just to mislead people

[@rakeshmeena2812]

But by they are presenting it with a negative tone like they only wants to show that whatever govt did is a bad decision

[@mirahindustani]

exactly... basically it means kashmiris dont really know the law or wat they r even fighting for?

[@mirahindustani]

@Janardhan Parweshwar to be ruled by extremists.. no thank u! as a kashmiri secular muslim pakistan has taken too much advantage of the valley!! 50 km south muslims hv no prob with ne one or the judgement.. but why is it only in srinagar do ppl feel they are some alag race.. me being a secular person questions several atrocities that many of my own ppl hv be a part of in the past..

[@mirahindustani]

@Janardhan Parweshwar ur argument seems very weak my friend...

[@sauravkumardubey8349]

[@pcpchoden]

So grateful to watch this interview. Very informative and intellectual.

[@akamohanty]

By far the best interview on the subject. Amount of clarity with which Mr Mustafa makes his point is unparalleled.

[@shafiq-khoj1909]

jammu and kashmir do not have law for free education upto university level, even it is not free for elementary level.

[@naveen4926]

And 370 was not stopping it to be applied in jk, it could have been proposed and passed in jk assembly but manipulation of 370 was not required

[@Brit7812]

Loved listening to your views and insight Karan Thapar and Professor Mustafa, you made it so easy for us to understand. Thank you.
