It is to be known that National Security Advisor Ajit Doval and other senior bureaucrats are already in Jammu and Kashmir. They are monitoring the security situation carefully before lifting the prohibitory orders in the region, while testing the conflicted waters as any wrong step might escalate the tensions - which is prevailing in the Valley.

Earlier on Tuesday, the Parliament on Tuesday gave its nod for bifurcation of Jammu and Kashmir and adopted resolutions to revoke the special status of the state under Article 370 and Article 35A which empowered the state legislature to define J&K's permanent residence. Even the House paved the way for the bifurcation of the state into two Union territories (UTs) - i) Jammu and Kashmir and ii) Ladakh.

However, Lok Sabha withdrew two bills - Jammu & Kashmir (Reorganisation) Bill, 2019 and Jammu & Kashmir Reservation (2nd Amendment) Bill, 2019 - after a heated argument. Following this, the Parliament has adjourned sine die.

Also, a petition has been filed by Advocate ML Sharma in the Supreme Court of India, calling the amendments made to Article 367 are "illegal" and "unconstitutional." On Monday, Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Monday proposed to revoke the special status under Article 370 and bifurcate the state into two Union Territories — Jammu & Kashmir and Ladakh. Along with the Amendments in Article 370, Centre amended 367 and added Clause 4 under which "Constituent Assembly" was replaced with the "Legislative Assembly."
