Which article was abolished by Jammu and Kashmir Reorganisation Act 2019 ?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
The correct answer is Option (1) → 370
On 5 August 2019, Article 370 was abolished by the Jammu & Kashmir Reorganisation Act 2019, and the State was constituted into two Union Territories, Jammu & Kashmir and Ladakh.
Note: The pre-rationalised NCERT does not have this: it was written before 2019. The 2023-24, 2025-26 and 2026-27 books give the abolition of Article 370 in 2019.
NCERT (2026-27): “2002 and Beyond … The President’s rule was imposed in June 2018 after BJP withdrew its support to the Mufti government. On 5 August 2019, Article 370 was abolished by the Jammu & Kashmir Reorganisation Act 2019 and the state was constituted into two Union Territories, viz., Jammu & Kashmir and Ladakh.…” |
