Home Minster Amit Shah took a big decision on Monday in the upper house of the parliament. The government has finally scrapped the Article 370 from the Indian constitution and divided Jammu and Kashmir into two Union Territories. Let it be known that article 470 came into being in 1954 and gave special rights to the people of J&K. It was just a ‘temporary provision’ which has been finally discarded.
J&K has been divided into two UTs, Jammu and Kashmir with a legislature, and Ladakh without one. While people of India are hailing the home minister and the prime minister for their big decision, Bollywood celebs also came forward to praise it.
B-Town stars like Atul Kasbekar, Vikrant Massey, Raveena Tandon, Paresh Rawal, Vivek Agnihotri, Vivek Anand Oberoi, Mohit Raina, Zaira Waseem, and others took to Twitter to share their views about the scrapping of Article 370 from the Indian constitution.

Status Quo on #Kashmir is done & dusted with. The region will ‘theoretically’ be treated like any other in #India .Growing up as a child of the Indian Armed Forces & having heard numerous first hand stories,this is a move I personally welcome.The band-aid ripped off. #370scrapped

Coming days will be tough
A status quo that was massively expensive in terms of good men lost n financial drain had to give at some point
Couldn’t continue in the same manner forever
This is an extremely complex n volatile issue
Had to be a very tough call n it’s been taken— atul kasbekar (@atulkasbekar) August 5, 2019

आज उन सबका सपना पूरा हुआ जिन्हें चाहिए थी पूर्ण आज़ादी।
आज ५ अगस्त २०१९ को कश्मीर को मिली –
– ग़रीबी से आज़ादी
– आतंक से आज़ादी
– ग़द्दार नेताओं से आज़ादी
– नफ़रत और अलगाववाद से आज़ादी
– झूठे आज़ादी के ठेकेदारों से आज़ादी
– भारत से कटे रहने से आज़ादी
– शरिया से आज़ादी— Vivek Ranjan Agnihotri (@vivekagnihotri) August 5, 2019

Our family's ancestral home in Srinagar. Taken away, ruined and now razed down.

I can understand if opposition politicians do oppose government’s wrong act. But I simply can’t understand that why are they opposing government for good work like removing #Article370 to make India more strong. Now Kashmir will have more investment, development and employment.
