  • Article 370, Federalism and the Basic Structure of the Constitution
    TIF - Article 370, Federalism and the Basic Structure of the Constitution FAIZAN MUSTAFA July 5, 2019 Photo credit: Saktishree DM | Flickr (CC BY-ND 2.0) Article 370 is a permanent and not temporary provision of the Constitution that assures Jammu and Kashmir autonomy. Its content may have been hollowed out but it remains important for the people of Kashmir. Calls to scrap it are based on a misinterpretation. The Article 370 debate is back centre-stage. The new Union Home Minister, Amit Shah, has made a detailed statement on Article 370 after his return from Kashmir. In tune with his party’s ideological position, he has yet again termed this constitutional provision as “temporary”. At the same time he has been candid enough to confess for the first time that most elections in Kashmir had been rigged. The importance of Article 370 to Kashmir and the significance it holds in our Constitution are issues that need to be constantly reiterated to dispel the considerable misinterpretation and misunderstanding about this provision in the Constitution of India History of Article 370 The most important feature of federalism in the United States of America (USA) was the ”compact” between the Page 1 www.TheIndiaForum.in July 5, 2019 erstwhile 13 British colonies that constituted themselves first into a confederation and then into a federal polity under the 1791 constitution of the USA. In a confederation units do have a right to secede, but in a federation they do not have such a right though in this system they are given a lot of autonomy to operate within their allotted spheres.

In the last three years, the Narendra Modi government has moved on nearly all fronts: macroeconomic stability, infrastructure, energy, corruption, direct and indirect taxes, foreign direct investment (FDI), closure of sick units, disinvestment, agriculture, urban development, cooperative federalism and social spending. Perhaps the most consequential reform since the new telecom policy launched by Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee has been the goods and services tax (GST). The reform replaces myriad indirect taxes, currently imposed by the Centre and states, by a single countrywide tax. Modi government has taken many specific initiatives It also ends the cascading of tax, whereby the current system imposes a tax on tax in to improve governance. many cases. The largest gain from the reform would come from the unification of fragmented localised and regional markets into a single national market for most products Related and services.

    PUBLIC AI Index: ASA 20/020/2001 20 March 2001 Further information on UA 275/99 (ASA 20/35/99, 15 October 1999) - Fear for safety INDIA(Jammu and Kashmir)Peer Noor ul Haq A group of police officers in Srinagar have been accused of murdering three detainees in their custody, and a hearing is scheduled for 28 March. Peer Noor ul Haq is a key prosecution witness, and police have reportedly threatened and harassed him and his family. Amnesty International believes their lives are in danger. Peer Noor ul Haq was arrested on 19 June 1999, after he lodged a complaint that certain police officers had taken bribes. He was detained for ten days, during which he was tortured. On the night of 23 June two other men, Ghulam Matto and Javid Shah, were put into the same cell as him. He heard screaming from another cell, which he took to be the sound of a third man being tortured. Shortly after the screaming stopped a senior police officer came and took away Ghulam Matto and Javid Shah. Neither man was seen alive again, and their bodies were found in a village 70 miles away. The body of the third man, Nazir Gilkar, was recovered from Dal Lake in Srinagar. A group of police officers have been charged with the killings. Since Peer Noor ul Haq came forward as a witness, police have threatened to kill him unless he decides not to testify. Both the State Human Rights Commission and the High Court of Jammu and Kashmir have ordered that he receive police protection, but no such protection has ever been provided.
