A large number of troops are being deployed in the Kashmir Valley, which has led to rising concerns among the local masses and regional political parties. On August 1, an additional 280 battalions of Central Armed Police Forces (CAPFs) were sent to Kashmir. Usually, one battalion of CAPF has about 1,000 security personnel.
Government Scrapping article 35A and article 370 ?
About 30000 troops of Army deployed in J&K
Last week, the Centre had rushed about 10,000 CAPFs to Kashmir. These troops were an addition to already-stationed 65 battalions of the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) and 20 other battalions of security forces, deployed for smooth conduct of the Amarnath Yatra. The massive deployment of security personnel in the Valley has raised many speculations regarding the purpose of such movement.
Government Scrapping article 35A and article 370 ?
The knee-jerk reaction to the move was attributing the deployment to the abrogation of Articles 35A and 370 of the Indian Constitution, which grant special status to the state of Jammu and Kashmir. Even though the matter is pending in court, the BJP had included it in their manifestos of 2019 as well as 2014.
Sources reveal the same:
The top government sources reveals that the Prime Minister Narendra Modi has decided that enough is enough and it is the time to integrate Jammu and Kashmir into India fully without any special statuses.
And thus his man Home Minister Amit Shah has strategised a plan with the assitance from NSA Ajith Doval, Army chief, IAF chief, R&AW chief, NIA chief and J&K Security advisor Vijay Kumar. Amit shah is speculated to met some of the influential persons of Kashmir and sought help from them in the case of serious scenarios.
Modi's Mission Kashmir:
Last week NSA Ajith doval went for a two day Kashmir trip and after returning from J&K Doval directky went to meet PM Modi and breifed the situation in J&K. Then the Ministry of Home Affairs ordered an 10000 troops to move kashmir and cited internal security. On Thursday as late night order Home Ministry ordered an additional 25000 troops to J&K. On Friday morning the Defence ministry asked the IAF and Army to be prepared. And following this the J&K Administration cited the Terror threats and stops the Amarnath Yatra.
Official letter of J&K requesting Yatris and Tourists to leave Urgently
This deployment and advisory to leave kashmir urgently does not sound as a reason for Terror threats. And this is the first time in 35 years. Thus the speculation of removing article 35A and 370 gets more sound. And next couple of days are going to be crucial not only for the people of Jammu and Kashmir but also for the whole nation.
