Reactions and aftermath
Pakistan reaction
Under Article 370, the state of Jammu and Kashmir was not only attributed with the special condition to reject all the provision from the Indian Constitution and implement their own regulations on its territory, but this state also had the power to elaborate a separate Constitution and autonomous legislative body which established a set of laws regulating fields such as the ownership of land, fundamental and education rights or religions. [1]
Although India agreed to Hari Singh’s petition of providing military aid to Jammu and Kashmir on the condition that these states would accede to join the country, the dispute between India and Pakistan over the sovereignty of the entire region has remained unsolved since their independence in 1947. Indeed, the diverse wars and ongoing tensions between these two countries, as well as the lack of political will from both India and Pakistan to peacefully settle this dispute through the United Nations’ intervention, depict its continuity as a sensitive issue in the subcontinent[2]. The Jammu and Kashmir Reorganisation Act, 2019, has been subject to significant controversy and debates in the international community, with some countries questioning its legality and respect for democracy. Even though China and Pakistan are the countries that have condemned India’s decision most insistently, there is nowadays a widespread support globally that has emanated in the consideration of this issue by the UN Security Council in 2019 and potentially in the International Court of Justice in the next years as well.
The Jammu and Kashmir Reorganization Act, 2019, impacted India’s regional security due to the deterioration of the bilateral relations with Pakistan since it increased the fresh military skirmishes along the Line of Control between these two nations [2]. Pakistan has continuously criticized the Government of India’s decision on removing Article 370 on grounds of being unconstitutional and unacceptable, as it directly impacted the fundamental rights of the people of the state of Jammu and Kashmir[3] . Notwithstanding that these countries have avoided direct confrontation over the past decades, Pakistan has recently conducted a diplomatic campaign against India by drastically downgrading ties with Modi’s government and using rhetoric against India at the United Nations General Assembly, while at the same time escalating war-like situations that resembled the four wars fought between Pakistan and India over Jammu and Kashmir[1].
