According to her, the moveby the Narendra Modi government to bring Jammu and Kashmir at par with the restof India was carried out in an undemocratic fashion. "The manner in whichit has been done is completely unconstitutional and it's against all theprinciples of democracy, there are rules to be followed when such things aredone, which were not followed," Priyanka told news agency.Article 370 and35A were scrapped on August 6, 2019, following President Ram Nath Kovindsigning the gazette after the resolution was passed by the Lok Sabha and RajyaSabha. Jammu and Kashmir was also divided into two Union Territories. One UnionTerritory is Jammu and Kashmir with an assembly while Ladakh is another butwithout an assembly.
